GÉANT Infoshare: NREN Fibre Infrastructure for Sensing

From an individual NREN perspective, fibre sensing has synergies with existing technologies that NRENs already have installed and provide as services in their networks. With fibre sensing, NRENs can detect physical changes in their networks. This is important for both time and frequency distribution and quantum networking, as well as for security and operational requirements. Detected disturbances – discovered through fibre sensing – can be used to correct the optical signals that are sent. Fibre sensing also helps to pinpoint disturbances or intrusions on the cables that the operational teams rely upon for connectivity and thus facilitates the protection of critical infrastructure.
