Intrusion detection System (IDS)

NTest fiber optic sensors deliver a sophisticated, non-electrical solution for safeguarding critical telecom infrastructure. These advanced sensors are designed to monitor for physical intrusions and detect water ingress, providing immediate alerts to prevent potential damage. With their ability to operate passively, NTest sensors ensure continuous network reliability, even in the most challenging and severe environments, helping to maintain uninterrupted service and protect vital communications.

Physical Intrusion Detection 

Reliable Monitoring Real-Time Alerts

NTest’s optical sensors detect unauthorized access to critical infrastructure components such as enclosures and manhole covers. Passive by design, they are immune to interference and operate without the need for electrical power. 

Key Features: 

• Passive optical design (no electricity required) 
• Immune to RF interference and jamming 
• Safe in explosive or spark-sensitive environments 
• Supports multiple sensors on a single fiber 
• Retrofit options for existing networks 

Ideal for: splice closures, telecom enclosures, underground infrastructure, remote sites 

Water Intrusion Detection 

Early Leak Detection That Keeps Networks Running 
 

Our fiber optic water sensors detect leaks and moisture by monitoring changes in light attenuation within the fiber. This early-warning system protects underground, coastal, and outdoor infrastructure from damage. 

Applications: 

• Fiber junction boxes and conduits 
• Cable landing stations 
• Outdoor telecom units 
• Splice closures 

Advantages: 

• No electrical components = no sparks, shorts, or EMI issues 
• Real-time alerts for proactive maintenance 
• Compatible with long-distance fiber monitoring 
• Environmentally safe 

Benefits at a Glance 

• Passive & Safe: No sparks, power, or interference risks 
• Real-Time Alerts: Quick response to incidents 
• Infrastructure Protection: Avoid costly downtime and damage 
• Easy Deployment: Compatible with existing infrastructure
