Wires&Bytes fiber cables are used as an integral part of Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) solutions.

Based on the doctoral thesis by Bridges & Structural Engineer, António Barrias, there is a variety of fields where DFOS solutions are deployed: oil and gas industry, safety and security, power and utility, civil engineering, etc.

A few years ago oil and gas industry was an indisputable leader of DFOS application in Europe.

The forecast by Visiongain António referenced in his work demonstrates the expected shift of application in Europe when major share of Oil & Gas in 2018 is supposed to give space to other fields, in particular, civil engineering, by 2028.

This means that Structural Health Monitoring will eventually become an equally important area of application of sensor cables as oil and gas industry, and the value of such products cannot be underestimated.

Wires&Bytes offers a range of cables specifically designed for SHM purposes, and more R&D activities are ongoing.
