Fotech’s Product Line Director, Stuart Large, in conjunction with the Fiber Optic Sensing Association (FOSA), presents “The Internet of Things just got a whole lot bigger – DAS for Smart Cities”.

With the rapid growth of cloud technology over last few years and the internet of things increasingly reaching many parts of our lives – Fotech looks at how these technologies are now poised to harness the power of distributed acoustic sensors, “DAS”, in our urban environments – making them safer and more efficient places to live and work. Drawing on its wealth of experience in a range of industries over the last ten years, Fotech explores how many of its existing solutions can be readily applied to the fiber networks already in place in cities today- and how decade old visions of DAS enabled cities are becoming a reality in the City of Calgary.
