- Optical fibre monitoring refers to continuous surveillance of optical cable performance across telecom, power grid, and critical infrastructure sectors. These systems detect physical layer anomalies such as fibre bends, cuts, and signal degradation. With growing dependence on fibre-optic networks for high-speed communication and data transmission, real-time fault localization and service assurance have become mission-critical.
- Distributed fibre sensing technologies such as OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) and BOTDA (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis) are gaining traction for wide-area coverage and proactive network diagnostics. Enterprises and telecom operators are also investing in AI-powered monitoring platforms that predict faults before they disrupt services.
- Asia-Pacific leads in 2025 due to large-scale fibre deployment, smart city initiatives, and 5G rollout across China, India, and South Korea. North America follows closely, with strong presence of cloud providers, hyperscale data centers, and critical network security applications. Europe is experiencing stable growth, driven by increasing demand for broadband reliability and infrastructure safety compliance.
