Cables useful for more than one reason

Cables useful for more than one reason
“This full-scale experiment will allow us to test new types of measuring instruments. Indeed, like terrestrial fibers, submarine cables not only transport communications, but also identify the vibrations of the ground on which the fiber is placed. The equipment placed at the end of the pair of fibers will allow it to be used as an antenna allowing better localization of seismic signals from the region, "detailed the operator's direction, while the surroundings of Mayotte have been the subject of great vigilance on the part of the authorities since the discovery of an active underwater volcanic structure off the coast of the department.

"While the use of optical fiber for the surveillance of engineering structures has become widespread over the past twenty years with sensors located on portions of fiber, scientists are seeking to exploit the different intrinsic backscattering of fibers as sensors to obtain information about its environment, "also explained the staff of the incumbent operator, recalling that optical fibers have been used as sensors for several years already.

"This agreement between the FLY-LION3 consortium and the IPGP makes it possible to envisage a diversification of the use of submarine cables beyond the support of connectivity needs", rejoiced Orange at the end of the announcement of this agreement, while its dedicated branch has been increasing connectivity projects for several years and could find with this new application a new use case to ensure the future of its underwater infrastructure.
