communications - wide area network security (FFT Secure Link)

FFT Secure Link is a major breakthrough in wide area network security.

Secure Link is a patented fibre optic sensor technology designed for a very unique application - monitoring highly sensitive fibre optic network cables against physical intrusion, damage by excavation, as well as unauthorised tampering and tapping of the fibre optic signal.

It is specifically used for detecting minute physical disturbances distributed along the length of a secure optical fibre cable, ensuring immediate warning for events purporting to either a security breach or a potential failure of physical integrity.

One Secure Link system can monitor up to 80km of fibre optic network, and can pinpoint the location of where this disturbance is taking place to ±50 metres.

Secure Link is commercially available, carries T4 approval. Clients include NTT Japan, Australian Department of Defence, Credit Suisse First Boston, Government of China, and the Ministry of Defence in the UK.
