FAQ

Frequently asked questions

DAS uses Φ-OTDR and Rayleigh backscattering to turn a whole cable into a continuous acoustic sensor array, monitoring vibration and acoustic events in real time. LandSub Global's DAS reaches 86 km per channel with industry-leading simultaneous listening points.
When excavation occurs along a pipeline, vibration travels through soil to the co-located cable; the DAS unit demodulates it in real time and AI classifies the event and threat level, issuing an alarm with meter-level localization within seconds. Field projects have verified effective alarm rates above 95%.
Usually not. Linear assets often already have co-located communication cables; DAS can use a spare fiber core. Sensing-communication fusion lets a single core carry both communication and sensing.
