Fiber sensing technology has transformed telecommunication networks worldwide, offering advancements in network efficiency and real-time anomaly detection. Yet, despite its potential, its adoption on a large scale has been slow, prompting inquiries into the “killer apps” that could encourage broader usage and demonstrate its value in enhancing network operations and security.
In this symposium, Sander Jansen and a panel of industry experts will delve into the practical applications of fiber sensing within global telecom networks, discussing deployment best practices, AI and ML integration, and economic implications. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of fiber sensing’s potential and strategies for its implementation.
