Bandweaver has recently completed the installation and commissioned its latest global test and demonstration facility just outside London, England. Therefore reinforcing Bandweaver as a global operator within the fiber optic monitoring sector with test and demonstration facilities across four continents.

Global  Fiber Optic Monitoring Test Sites

Global Test Sites

These world class facilities have multiple capabilities to support and provide our supply partners and customers with all the pertinent information needed to procure, often complex, monitoring solutions used with critical infrastructures programs such as power and utilities, in addition to asset protection from fire and other damaging events. The facilities include:

  • Product Demonstration Areas
  • Bandweaver Research and Development
  • Internal research and development
  • Client acceptance testing facilities
  • Client research and development

These facilities are integrated systems which can be automated and integrated with CCTV to provide real time solutions such as our over power distribution cable testing section as our Dallas site.

Dallas Fiber Optic Monitoring Site Overview

 Product Demonstration Areas

Product demos provides customers with a hands-on experience of Bandweaver’s equipment and can replicate real-life deployment and operation of fiber optic or other sensor technologies within real life scenarios such as personnel movements, mechanical, human, vehicle, water or explosion disturbance. Both night-time and day-time situations and sequences can be explored.

Client acceptance testing facilities

Our test and demonstration sites allow us to run customised tests to specific criteria as required by a client. For example, marker points indicate specific key measurement parameters and cable sections and are used to simulate a client’s requirements, such as fence, buried cables and water sections. Different digging events (manual and mechanical) and different vehicle footprints can be tested and visualised. We can even provide an interactive testing experience with a real life scenario and two-way participation.
