With the longest fiber optic monitoring capabilities in the market, the RaySense provides 100% perimeter coverage for long range applications with no gaps between sensors, the cable is the sensor.
The system detects and locates intrusions based on a signature database to avoid any false.
The detection capability is based on acoustics which allows the cable to detect without any physical movement of the cable which allows it to be buried in any type of ground.
The RaySense requires no power in the field and installation minimizes the need for trenching and expensive installation methods.
The RBtec point intrusion detection system is the most cost-effective, high-performance solution for the protection of long perimeters and other infrastructure.

Deploying RaySense fiber optic intrusion detection system provides reliable perimeter security for up to 100 km/62 Miles through a single fiber-optic cable, detecting and locating within 6 meters/20 feet over the entire perimeter.  Daisy-chaining additional controllers provide unlimited reach.  Seven different levels of actual physical sensitivity, through the cable configuration, optimize system performance for different media requirements, including chain link fence, buried cable, or wrought iron.  Additionally, because of the extreme sensitivity, the cable can be used with a protective conduit without affecting required sensitivity and allowing greater installation flexibility, convenience and system longevity.

What is DAS?

A DAS is an advanced variant of an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) that monitors the coherent Rayleigh backscatter noise signature in a fiber optic cable as pulsed light is sent into the fiber. The coherent Rayleigh noise generates a fine structure in the backscatter signature of the fiber cable. The DAS focuses on the Raleigh component to increase its prominence in the backscatter trace.

DAS is optimized to measure small changes in the coherent Rayleigh noise structure that occurs from pulse to pulse. Since the coherent Rayleigh noise structure is generated interferometrically within the fiber by the relative locations and strengths of local scattering centers intrinsic to the structure of the glass, very small physical (acoustic or vibration) disturbances at a point in the fiber can make detectable changes in the interferometric signal.

Installation Layout

Utilizing fiber-optic cable, the system is the most economically competitive technology currently available for long distances.  Requiring only a single alarm processing unit (APU) to cover up to 100 km/62 Miles, combined with a rugged fiber-optic sensing cable, results in the most cost-effective solution for large perimeters with only a few components.

Applications:

• Borders
• Airports and Sea Ports
• Energy and Utilities
• Petroleum and Chemical
• Military and Government
