India, March 11 -- VIAVI Solutions has introduced a new fibre test head for distributed acoustic sensing (FTH-DAS) to enhance its NITRO Fibre Sensing solution. The new device functions as a true-phase DAS interrogator and integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities. Designed for deployment at the network edge, the system enables the detection and localisation of multiple events while providing real-time classification across several fibre links directly on the device.

According to the company, the integration of on-device machine learning with a patented true-phase DAS technique enables more accurate measurements and interpretation of signals in real time. This capability allows operators of critical in...
