Comparison

Conventional point sensors vs distributed fiber sensing

A factual comparison of the two monitoring approaches for long linear and distributed assets.

Conventional approaches vs distributed fiber optic sensing
DimensionConventional point sensors / periodic patrolDistributed fiber optic sensing
Coverage modelSensing only at discrete instrumented points; blind sections in betweenEvery meter of the route is a sensing point — up to 160 km (dual channel) from one DAS interrogator
Detection timingEvents are found during inspection rounds or when a point sensor tripsContinuous 24/7 acoustic and temperature measurement along the full route
LocalizationBetween the two nearest instrumented points — often hundreds of meters apart±2 m event localization (DAS), ±1 m fault location (cable monitor)
Field hardwarePowered electronics along the route, each unit a maintenance itemPassive fiber only; all electronics stay in the station interrogator
Environmental durabilityElectronics age in dust, moisture and EMI-heavy sitesFiber is immune to EMI and built for harsh industrial environments
Deployment

From installation to operation: how a monitoring deployment works

Every project follows a survey-first path, so the monitoring design is based on measured site conditions rather than assumptions.

  1. Step 1 — Site survey and route assessment. Engineers review asset length, threat profile, cable availability and fiber resources to confirm which sections one system can cover and where each interrogator should sit.
  2. Step 2 — Fiber qualification and route testing. The selected fiber core is tested for attenuation and backscatter quality, verifying it supports the planned monitoring distance and localization accuracy.
  3. Step 3 — Equipment installation. Interrogator units are rack-mounted in existing control rooms or communication hubs and connected to spare fiber cores; traffic on in-service fibers is not interrupted.
  4. Step 4 — Commissioning and alarm zoning. The route is divided into alarm zones, thresholds are tuned per zone, and localization is verified with controlled field tests.
  5. Step 5 — AI model adaptation. In-house recognition models are adapted to the site's event classes using recordings captured along the actual route.
  6. Step 6 — Handover, training and operations. Control-room teams are trained on the alarm workflow, and the system is handed over with documentation and escalation rules in place.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Landsub Global?

Landsub Global is a distributed fiber optic sensing infrastructure provider, delivering fully in-house engineered DAS, DTS, DTSS-BOTDR and in-service fiber monitoring systems with AI pattern recognition for oil & gas, power, transportation and mining. Optical path, mechanical design and demodulation algorithms are all engineered internally, so specifications stay consistent between datasheet and field behavior.

How much route can one system monitor?

One DAS interrogator covers up to 160 km (dual channel) and localizes events to within ±2 m along the fiber, while the RFTS cable monitor keeps live communication fibers under 7×24 watch across 100 km with ±1 m fault location. Because the sensing fiber is passive, coverage scales with the route — not with the number of field devices to power and maintain.

Which industries and assets are covered?

Pipeline intrusion and leak detection, power cable fire early-warning (DTS at ±0.5 °C, 0.8 m spatial resolution), tunnel and bridge structural health (DTSS-BOTDR at ±5 με), conveyor roller monitoring in mining and ports, and in-service fiber health for telecom operators. Field results on this site — 100% DAS event recognition in a multi-vendor trial, 95% effective alarm rate across 59.14 km — come from customer-verified measurements.
