Detecting threats to fiber optic networks

Today, at the ICTON 2025 conference in Barcelona, a team of researchers presents groundbreaking work that could significantly improve the real-time protection of fiber optic infrastructure — the very backbone of our connected world.

Detecting threats to fiber optic networks

Micropol is proud to have contributed to this research by providing test equipment and optical materials used in the experiments. As a technology partner, Micropol follows this development closely, recognizing the strategic importance of advanced monitoring tools for fiber networks in both civilian and defense sectors.

The technology could pave the way for smarter, real-time surveillance of optical infrastructure — preventing costly downtime, increasing network security, and enabling early detection of sabotage or environmental threats.
