The RaySense Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system redefines pipeline security and Third Party Interference (TPI) monitoring by turning a standard single-mode fiber optic cable, buried alongside the pipeline, into a high-precision, 100km (62 miles) continuous sensor. While traditional systems often struggle with nuisance alarms from environmental noise, RaySense utilizes a proprietary Raw Signal AI engine. By analyzing the unique acoustic “DNA” of threats, such as manual digging, heavy machinery, or vehicle movement before the data is compressed, RaySense achieves unparalleled threat discrimination.
To ensure rapid deployment across vast distances, RaySense features Automated AI Calibration, which autonomously maps the specific soil conditions and background noise of the pipeline route. This eliminates the need for extensive manual tuning and provides a “plug-and-play” solution for critical infrastructure protection with zero power-in-the-field requirements and the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in the industry.

The Architecture Breakdown of RaySense for Pipelines
The RaySense system layout is engineered for extreme durability in remote environments, concentrating all intelligence into a single, rack-mounted Alarm Processing Unit (APU). By utilizing the fiber optic cable as the sensor, the system eliminates the need for any electricity or communication hardware along the pipeline route.
Centralized Processing: The APU is housed in a secure, climate-controlled station, monitoring up to 50km (31 miles) in two directions.
The Sensing Fiber: Standard single-mode fiber is buried near the pipeline, transforming every meter of the route into a virtual microphone.
Zero Field Infrastructure: The system is completely passive in the field, making it immune to lightning, EMI, and RFI, ideal for high-pressure gas or oil environments.
Virtual Zoning: The software allows operators to divide the pipeline into hundreds of virtual zones for precise localized alerts and integration with drone or camera systems.

Smart AI Pipeline Monitoring
Economical Long-Range TPI Protection The RaySense fiber-optic system offers the most cost-effective way to secure hundreds of miles of pipeline with minimal infrastructure.
Third-Party Interference (TPI): Detects and identifies unauthorized activity such as excavation, heavy machinery movement, and manual digging before the pipeline is breached.
Pinpoint Accuracy: Identifies the exact location of an event within 3 meters (10 feet), allowing for immediate and targeted response.
Scalable Intelligence: The AI engine is designed to focus only on “Yes” events (real threats), minimizing nuisance alarms from nearby roads or rail lines.
Innovative Solutions for Every Need
Purpose built perimeter detection for the industries where a breach costs the most.
