The choice of fibre optic networks has lead to increased demand for security and protection.
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to tap into fibre networks and intercept data transfer.
In fact, sophisticated devices are now commercially available that could be used to carry out such illegal events.
Threats can also come from excavation equipment, landslides, and natural earth movements that could disrupt pre-installed cable networks.
Secure Link is a powerful network security solution that operates automatically.
Easy to install on existing networks, it requires no field power and offers a continuous, maintenance free operation under extreme operational and environmental conditions.
With this system, there is no need to lay new cable and it can be used on 'lit' fibre networks without affecting the data transfer process.
Any alarm generated from Secure Link can be fed into proprietary CAMS or third party control software packages to interface with SCADA or CCTV systems.
It works by transmitting a laser beam down the fibre optic cable then automatically analysing the return signal for any disturbances.
As well as pre-warning security crews of any impending threats, intelligent event discrimination minimises false alarm rates for greater efficiency.
Secure Link is the ideal security solution for any organisation transferring data across Local Area Networks (LAN) or Wide Area Networks (WAN).
Examples include banks, financial institutions, government and public sector institutions, military bases, and any large or medium scale organisation with national or international communication networks.
Secure Link is part of the 'Secure' line of products from Future Fibre Technologies (FFT), Australia, that also includes Secure Pipe (pipeline security), and Secure Fence (perimeter security).
Radiodetection sees this range as the ideal high technology solution to meet the growing demand for safeguarding valuable data network infrastructures in today's security conscious climate.
