NITRO Fiber Sensing, an integrated real-time asset monitoring and analytics solution for critical infrastructure, including electrical power transmission, water, gas, and oil pipelines, border/perimeter security, and data center interconnects, was recently introduced by VIAVI Solutions.
Operators must overcome obstacles to safeguard and maximize their critical infrastructure. Since the expenses incurred from damaging critical assets frequently exceed the initial investment, early identification, localization, and mitigation of external risks reduce damage and outages and cut total cost of ownership (TCO). Optimizing operations also contributes to meeting production objectives.
What Makes the The New NITRO Fiber Sensing Unique:
- NITRO Fiber Sensing, which consists of Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS), Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), and Simultaneous Temperature and Strain Sensing (DTSS) technologies, offers the vital information required to quickly detect and locate threats.
- NITRO Fiber Sensing monitors fiber optic cables and fiber-enabled equipment using remote Fiber Test Heads (FTH), sometimes referred to as interrogators. FTH may detect acoustic vibrations near a fiber or measure temperature and strain along a fiber by executing distributed fiber optic sensing in real-time.
- FTH is strategically placed, such as along pipelines and power cables, to offer useful infrastructure health data that may be utilized to schedule preventive maintenance and minimize downtime.
- Operators are alerted to possible dangers from advancing ship anchors, human meddling, digging operations, moving vehicles, and fishing nets. The specific location of these alerts is provided to support response, maintenance, and repair teams.
“As a leader in fiber monitoring, VIAVI is trusted to monitor millions of miles of fiber with thousands of test heads around the world today. We take fiber monitoring to the next level with the NITRO Fiber Sensing solution,” said Kevin Oliver, Vice President and General Manager, Fiber and Access Solutions, VIAVI. “As the use of fiber optic cables increases across various industries to enable accurate, resilient monitoring while complying with security regulations, our broad portfolio serves each customer’s unique needs.”
