Building the future of infrastructure monitoring from Berkeley, California.
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."
Our technology development is supported by prestigious research institutions and accelerators.
Executing NSF PFI-RP (Award #2234542) building on NSF I-Corps (Award #1931704) customer discovery. Validated scientific merit and commercial potential.
Multiple units deployed with USACE, CEC, Caltrans, Kajima, and A2-AM under collaborative research. Field feedback drives productization.
Deep connections to UC Berkeley's civil, optical, and electrical engineering programs. Cross-disciplinary expertise in deployment and interpretation.
Structured for growth with institutional-grade governance.
Currently pre-incorporation, with licensing path and SBIR/STTR funding submissions in progress.
Currently in pre-seed stage, focused on technology development and initial customer validation.
Experienced team across software, photonics, and field operations, building full-stack sensing capability.
Key moments in our development from research project to infrastructure monitoring company.
NSF I-Corps Award #1931704 enabled extensive customer discovery, revealing that adoption stalls when data doesn't drive decisions.
Received NSF PFI-RP Award #2234542 to develop affordable BOTDR hardware and end-to-end deployment workflows.
Multiple sample units deployed with USACE, CEC, Caltrans, Kajima, and A2-AM. Field feedback driving productization priorities.
Incorporate; establish licensing path; submit SBIR/STTR + USACE/DoD and other funding proposals.
Industrial design, packaging, reliability testing, and deployment playbook refinement.
Cloud MVP with dashboards, alerts, multi-site management, and data pipeline infrastructure.
AI anomaly detection with human expert verification loop to reduce analysis burden and scale operations.
