Innovations

A single DxS Sensing Unit from FOSINA can monitor up to 100km of optical fiber which is either attached to fencing or buried alongside the track in a duct. A network of DxS Sensing Units provides gapless and persistent acoustic, strain and temperature surveillance along the length of an entire railway. It is used to covertly detect, geolocate and accurately classify unauthorised intrusion, provide a train tracking system and infrastructure and bridge monitoring against fatigue and landslide.
