Submarine Cable Sensing | Mark Englund

Listen Later

In our final episode of this special podcast series about undersea cables, we're exploring the rapidly evolving technology of using fiber optic cables as remote sensors.

We welcome Mark Englund, CEO of Fibersense. Mark explains the fascinating world of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), and how this emerging technology is turning existing fiber optic cables into sentient, continuous sensors. We explore:

  • How this is transforming the cable industry, providing unparalleled real-time protection by detecting anchors and fishing gear and other potential threats.
  • How Fibersense uses machine learning to cut through the ocean's "cacophony" and make the data actionable for cable operators.
  • Finally, we spend a little time looking beyond the subsea, exploring the immense potential of DAS for terrestrial fiber in applications like protection against excavators, water leak detection in city infrastructure, and even a new vision for traffic safety and autonomous.
