Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS)
Border surveillance is an important aspect of security today. Green borders or critical civilian and military installations must be monitored reliably, safely and around the clock. With the fiber optic monitoring system from Solifos, a small, almost invisible cable easily takes on this task. It reacts to shocks, vibrations and pressure and up to 100 km can be deployed in one go.

Robust fiber optic cable systems prove themselves in civil protection exercises
The Schwarzwald-Baar 2021 district procured fiber optic field cable systems including accessories as supplementary equipment for the disaster control unit (IUK) of the command staff. In addition, critical buildings were equipped with fiber optic connectors in order to quickly establish a connection to the mobile units in case of emergency.

NOR-FROST: The New Fiber Optic Sensing Test Site in Norway
NOR-FROST is the new near-surface fibre optic sensing test site in the backyard of NORSAR, an internationally recognized independent research foundation with specialization in seismology and seismic monitoring.
Thousands of seismometers on a single cable
Fibre-optic cables are emerging as a valuable tool for geoscientists and glaciologists. They offer a relatively inexpensive way of measuring even the tiniest glacial earthquakes – plus they can also be used to obtain more accurate images of the geological subsurface in earthquake-prone megacities.
