Preventing Infrastructure Failures Before They Happen

Critical infrastructure underpins modern society—roads carry commerce, pipelines deliver energy, bridges connect communities. Yet much of this infrastructure operates without continuous monitoring, leaving failures undetected until they become dangerous.

Linken Sensing is changing this paradigm. We're developing distributed fiber optic sensing technology that transforms existing fiber networks into intelligent monitoring systems, providing real-time awareness of infrastructure conditions across vast networks.

Our mission is to make comprehensive infrastructure monitoring economically viable and technically practical, protecting both public safety and critical services.

"Seeing what was invisible, preventing what was inevitable."
