Market Key Trends
Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is emerging as a key trend in the optical fiber monitoring market. DAS technology utilizes the inherent distributive nature of optical fibers to transform them into arrays of “microphones”. By detecting and analysing laser pulses sent through fiber, DAS systems can detect and locate disturbances like vibrations or movements with very high accuracy over long distances. DAS finds extensive usage in perimeter security, pipeline monitoring, engineer structure health monitoring, and border patrol. The advantages of real-time distributed sensing over traditional point-based monitoring are expected to drive DAS adoption rates among end-use industries.
