Trespass on mass transit infrastructure is not only illegal and extremely dangerous, it can also cause significant service delays.   To mitigate these risks, transport operators need to put comprehensive measures in place to ensure the protection of rolling stock, cargo, infrastructure, staff and passengers. This involves implementing solutions that accurately detect trespassing, stop unauthorised access and prevent malicious damage, vandalism and theft.   FFT’s intrusion detection technology is used to protect transport infrastructure around the world, delivering high-quality and ultra-reliable detection solutions while minimising unwanted alarms. This includes detecting rock fall and human interference on railway lines, monitoring safety fencing separating trains and cars on busy bridges and protecting rolling stock from vandalism and graffiti in maintenance yards.   So, whether it’s an 80km stretch of track or small stabling yard, SIL 2 certified Aura Ai-X and Aura Ai-XS offer operators the perfect security solution for transport infrastructure of all shapes and sizes.

Thank you, International Security Journal (ISJ), for featuring our SIL2 Certification for Aura Ai-X technology and software, and for highlighting our steadfast commitment to enhancing safety for our customers. "Achieving SIL 2 certification sets a new benchmark for reliability in fibre sensing. Our Aura controllers now operate with a mean time between failures (MTBF) in the millions of hours, significantly boosting safety and operational continuity. This gives our customers the assurance that any safety risk is minimized to an acceptable level.” — Group CEO, Mal Maginnis Learn more about Aura Ai -X and how it's delivering results that truly matter. https://lnkd.in/gDSQd3UF #AuraAiX #AuraAiXS #physicalsecurity #criticalinfrastructure #futurefibretechnologies #intrusiondetection #DAS #PIDS

Did you know that FFT's intrusion detection technology and software has received Safety Integrity Level 2 certification? This means that that both Aura Ai-X and Aura Ai-XS satisfy the requirements of EN50128:2011 - a standard that specifies the process and technical requirements for the development of software for programable electronic systems used in railway control and protection applications. Receiving SIL 2 certification sets a new standard for reliability in fibre sensing, ensuring our Aura controllers operate with mean time between failures extending into the millions of hours - significantly enhancing safety and operational continuity.

Power plants, solar parks and wind farms rely on heightened security measures to detect trespassing, stop unauthorised access and prevent malicious damage - ensuring energy providers can continue to supply services to customers. From identifying intruders approaching or climbing perimeter fencing to securing substations and smaller buildings, FFT’s intrusion detection technology is used by energy companies around the globe to protect critical assets and infrastructure. From small perimeter substations to the largest solar farms, FFT delivers high-quality and ultra-reliable perimeter protection solutions while minimising unwanted alarms. This includes preventing disruption or damage to long distance terrestrial and subsea power cables, as well as protecting hydro and nuclear power plants. In the UAE, FFT’s high-performance intrusion detection technology is not only installed on the perimeter fence of a nuclear power plant to prevent unauthorised access, but also delivers real-time advanced warning of third-party activity on critical, internal data communication cables that could indicate attempts to disrupt or take control of the facility’s processes or equipment. So, whether it’s a solar farm in the United States or a hydropower plant on the Brazil-Paraguay border, FFT's state-of-the-art fibre optic intrusion detection technology continues to be the solution of choice when it comes to safeguarding critical energy infrastructure worldwide. #AuraAiX #AuraAiXS #avagroup #energy #hydropower #solarfarms #nuclearpower #windfarms #physicalsecurity #criticalinfrastructure #futurefibretechnologies #datanetworksecurity #intrusiondetection #powercables #powerplants

Protecting defence infrastructure requires the deployment of reliable and robust security measures designed to prevent hostile intrusions and counteract malicious damage - imperative for the survivability of military assets and overall site safety. From identifying an unauthorised individual, group or vehicle approaching or climbing perimeter fencing to detecting intrusions or threats on facility grounds, protecting high risk infrastructure is a critical priority for military and government organisations. From army bases to military airfields, FFT’s intrusion detection technology is deployed by defence organisations globally to enhance the protection of facilities, critical infrastructure and assets from the outside in. This extends to border protection, where our Aura Ai-X technology is actively monitoring a European borderline with great success. Despite challenging terrain and environmental conditions, Aura Ai-X is delivering the highest probability of detection with minimal nuisance alarms. FFT's state-of-the-art fibre optic intrusion detection technology continues to be the solution of choice when it comes to safeguarding defence and military assets and infrastructure worldwide. #AuraAiX #avagroup #Detect #defence #military #physicalsecurity #criticalinfrastructure #futurefibretechnologies #borderprotection

Designed for perimeters up to 10 kilometers (6 miles), Aura Ai-XS is perfect for smaller facilities that require reliable and robust protection. Unlike traditional security systems that often require extensive civil works which escalate project costs and timelines, Aura Ai-XS minimises such needs, keeping labour, deployment and material costs low for integrators. ◻ No electronics or power required in the field ◻ Intrusion detection accuracy within ± 2 meters (6.5 feet) ◻ Real-time simultaneous detection on two channels Aura Ai-XS sets a new standard in short perimeter intrusion detection, delivering results that matter.

A great article on the advantages of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology by our partner EA Technology Group. We're proud to lead in delivering a DAS solution, in Aura Ai-X, that provide extensive coverage, environmental resilience, and real-time responsiveness, making it ideal for large-scale monitoring. #DAS #SecuritySolutions #InnovativeTechnology #FFT #Surveillance #Monitoring #AuraAiX #PIDS #Perimeterprotection #Intrusion

Mitigating physical security threats to oil and gas infrastructure remains a key priority for operators globally.
