FTH-DAS

The Fiber Test Head for Distributed Acoustic Sensing (FTH-DAS), part of the NITRO Fiber Sensing solution, provides continuous monitoring for fiber-enabled assets. Utilizing fiber optic cables to provide continuous and dynamic real-time information of vibrational disturbances occurring in the environment around your assets, with immediate detection and localization.

DAS provides characterized and prioritized information about events to improve the efficiency and responsiveness of your operations. By identifying event characteristics DAS enables action to be taken before events materialize into a threat.

True Phase DAS technology (patented) FTH-DAS provides enhanced event detection over background noise to minimize false alarms and provide superior locational accuracy.

Embedded AI/ML delivers network edge-based processing to minimize data network traffic and remove the need for external/centralized data elaboration or manual intervention. Local processing reduces latency, enabling near real time event identification, classification, alarm generation and tracking, essential for time critical applications.

Giving you high confidence by ensuring optimal asset performance and protection from day 1, to reduce downtime and disruptions.
