AP Sensing
AP Sensing is a global leader in distributes fiber optic sensing technology. Our solutions protect critical infrastructure by transforming standard fiber optic cables into thousands of sensors that “listen and feel” along the entire length, detecting, classifying, and locating in real time.
AP Sensing stands for innovative strength, reliability, and a corporate culture that combines technological excellence with true teamwork. AP Sensing operates globally, while all development and manufacturing are based in Böblingen, Germany.
Role within the Network
AP Sensing’s Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology monitors and optimizes critical infrastructure such as data centers, fiber optic networks, railway and power corridors, pipelines, airports and tunnels. DFOS systems capture acoustic signatures and temperature profiles over many kilometers in real time, like the human sensory system.
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) turns fiber optic cables into thousands of virtual microphones. Using AI, the system detects, classifies and pinpoints excavation work, intrusions, weaknesses and physical damage with meter-level accuracy. Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) converts the fiber into thousands of temperature sensors that trigger alarms for fires, thermal anomalies or when thresholds are exceeded.
This scalable early warning and monitoring system helps operators protect assets, increase network and data center availability and enhance safety, integrating into new and existing infrastructure without additional sensor hardware.
