Fiber optic cables in conduit pathways, used for internet and broadband, contain hundreds of fibers that carry signal across oceans, countries and throughout our communities. Paul Dickinson, Director of Business Development at Orbia’s Connectivity Solutions business Dura-Line, spoke with Broadband Communities about the benefits of using this same conduit and optical fiber for entirely different applications. This technology sends light pulses through the fiber to monitor temperature, strain and acoustic vibration, helping prevent damage and keep utilities running smoothly.

Under your feet is a network of infrastructure buried in the ground to transport and deliver internet, electricity, natural gas and more. But often construction for one of these can damage utilities already in place. Orbia's Connectivity Solutions business Dura-Line just announced a pilot project with Purdue Research Foundation, Tilson Infrastructure and LUNA Innovations to use fiber as a sensor to monitor community infrastructure. Fiber can detect vibrations from equipment and identify if construction is close to damaging any utilities. Learn more about how it will be used on the Purdue campus: https://lnkd.in/gnkzkN5e #WeAreOrbia #Connectivity #Utilities #Construction #Fiber
