Infrastructure Monitoring Is Broken

Critical infrastructure failures cause billions in damages annually. Current monitoring approaches leave dangerous blind spots.

Current Problems

  • Point sensors create coverage gaps between measurement locations
  • Manual inspections are infrequent and miss developing issues
  • Traditional sensors degrade and require costly maintenance
  • Retrofitting existing infrastructure is expensive and disruptive
  • No real-time alerting for sudden structural changes
  • Data silos prevent comprehensive infrastructure analysis

Our Solution

  • Continuous sensing along the entire fiber length—no gaps
  • Real-time monitoring with millisecond response times
  • Passive optical fiber requires minimal maintenance
  • Leverages existing telecommunications fiber infrastructure
  • Instant alerts when anomalies are detected
  • Unified platform for all infrastructure types
