They\u2019ve added significant detection capabilities, deterrence benefits and maintenance reductions, especially in the heavily trafficked zones where cables typically land,\u201d said Dean Veverka, Director Networks and VP Operations, Southern Cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA further compelling benefit is that we don\u2019t need to reserve a separate fiber path for the monitoring as the DigitalAsset Marine technology operates over an \u2018in-use\u2019 fiber pair allowing us to utilize the full potential of the submarine cable for clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe rest of the submarine sector looks closely at innovations that the Pacific based cable operators are adopting and once again, SX is at the forefront of showing just what further protection measures are possible in operating this critical communications infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founder and CEO of FiberSense, Mark Englund, said: \u201cWe are now monitoring over 450km of combined terrestrial and marine segments for SX in the Pacific region. We are grateful for the trust and confidence that they have shown in our \u2018market making\u2019 services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur growing customer base reflects the fact that DigitalAsset Marine is a game changer in meeting the challenges operators face to improve subsea cable resilience and related maintenance demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven when the marine cables are buried and out of sight, our technology reveals the location and nature of potentially damaging events from anchor drag, fishing net entanglement, rock fall and unauthorized tampering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing able to \u2018see\u2019 for the first time these types of events in real-time along the cable allows the cable operator to action mitigation strategies as well as attribution exactly when and where the risk is detected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FiberSense can identify and pinpoint threats across the cable front haul section, continuously along the cable and in real-time. This enables a variety of response mechanisms from Automatic Identification System (AIS) messaging to coast guard intervention and ship to shore radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once activated, the FiberSense DigitalAsset Marine system detects and locates a vessel. An alarm is posted in real-time if any anchoring event or other aggression event is detected and several mitigation strategies are employed in order to avert a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In tandem with AIS integration, FiberSense can aid in assigning culpability, the benefit being that FiberSense still works even if AIS is deactivated. Additionally, FiberSense has developed a capability to detect when a section of cable is uncovered on the ocean floor or is suspended above the ocean floor and is strumming, in real-time by location to meter accuracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FiberSense and SX announce expansion of alliance with deployment of monitoring and protection capability on new NEXT submarine cable between Australia, New Zealand, USA and the Pacific Islands.
