Infrastructure Risk Is Rising

Aging assets and climate extremes demand monitoring that scales. Current approaches leave dangerous gaps in both time and space.

Current Problems

  • Inspections are periodic—events happen between samples
  • Point sensors miss local damage—need distributed coverage
  • Current DFOS systems cost $80-100k+—adoption is limited
  • More data isn't valuable unless it drives decisions
  • Owners don't know how to operationalize continuous spatial data
  • Complex ecosystem (owners, consultants, operators) slows adoption

Our Solution

  • Affordable BOTDR hardware unlocks distributed sensing
  • End-to-end workflow: deployment playbook to interpretation
  • Decision-ready outputs—not just data, actionable engineering results
  • Expert analysis converts spatial data into validated insights
  • Co-define thresholds and response workflows with owners
  • Cloud platform + AI screening reduces analysis burden
