FOTAS: Advancing Security with Distributed Acoustic Sensing System

The Growing Need for Advanced Security Solutions

Security threats are becoming more complex, requiring innovative solutions beyond traditional monitoring systems.
FOTAS (Fiber Optic Acoustic Sensing System) provides a real-time, AI-driven, long-distance security monitoring solution based on Distributed Acoustic Sensing System (DAS technology).

Using a single fiber optic cable, FOTAS continuously monitors large-scale areas, detects anomalies, and alerts security teams instantly.
Unlike conventional sensor-based systems, FOTAS is immune to electromagnetic interference, cost-effective, and scalable, making it an ideal security solution for solar farms, prisons, pipelines, and telecom infrastructure.

How FOTAS is Transforming Security Across Industries

This page presents four detailed case studies, showcasing how FOTAS technology addresses security challenges in different industries with precision and efficiency.

These real-world implementations demonstrate how the Distributed Acoustic Sensing System (DAS technology) enhances security monitoring, minimizes operational risks, and ensures infrastructure safety. By analyzing vast networks with precision, FOTAS enables proactive threat detection and seamless integration with existing security frameworks.

Why FOTAS? Unparalleled Benefits of Distributed Acoustic Sensing System

FOTAS converts fiber optic cables into a vast network of sensors, analyzing environmental vibrations and acoustic changes in real-time.
AI-driven data processing distinguishes real threats from background noise, ensuring highly accurate alerts.

– Long-Distance Coverage: Detects threats up to 50 kilometers with a single fiber optic cable and can extend even further with dual-channel configurations, making it one of the most advanced Distributed Acoustic Sensing System solutions.
– AI-Powered Threat Detection: Differentiates between digging, cutting, climbing, or unauthorized movements.
– Low Operational Costs: Requires no additional sensors—only uses existing fiber optic infrastructure.
– Instant Response: Real-time alerts enable security teams to act immediately.
– Seamless Integration: Easily connects with CCTV, alarm systems, and video management software (VMS).
