FIBER SENSING (DAS)
The OptoDAS enables real-time distortion-free measurements of fiber strain modulation over long distances, with low inherent phase noise and high accuracy. It also offers practical resistance to connector reflections and installation flexibility. This technology is crucial for protecting subsea cables, seismic monitoring, oceanographic surveillance, and is relevant for offshore climate change challenges.
SERVICES
Operating and maintaining submarine cable networks present unique challenges associated with accessibility, long distances, and constant exposure to the elements. Combined with the growing global internet demand, evolving technology, and regular installation of new systems, the Business Unit Services plays a key role within ASN, with an excellent level of expertise and continuously progressing experience.
From Provisional Acceptance throughout the network life cycle, the BU provides unique services designed and delivered by ASN Technical Support Engineers, covering all aspects of operations and maintenance, on land and at sea.
UPGRADE
Upgrading existing submarine cable systems is a highly cost-effective method of enhancing high-speed capacity. We provide the necessary technologies, tools, and teams for all aspects of these operations.
OUR PROJECTS
ASN builds and deploys networks and equipment to support the growth of global communications, with projects that demonstrate our expertise and innovation.
