IT & Telecoms

IT and telecom networks are the backbone of the digital economy, where downtime and service interruptions can have widespread consequences. Risks such as fire in data halls or malicious interference with buried fiber optic cables can compromise performance and security. Bandweaver’s fiber optic sensing solutions deliver rapid fire detection and intelligent intrusion monitoring, giving operators early warning of risks before they escalate. Whether protecting large data centres, switching hubs, or long-haul buried networks, our systems safeguard uptime, protect assets, and maintain trust in critical digital infrastructure.

APPLICATIONS

Data Centres

Data centres house vast amounts of IT equipment and require both fire protection and high-level security. Bandweaver’s LHD (FireLaser DTS + FireFiber) delivers continuous fire monitoring across racks, cable trays, and underfloor spaces, detecting overheating far earlier than traditional detectors. PIDs (Perimeter Intrusion Detection with DAS) provide a second layer of protection by monitoring facility boundaries, fences, and even internal high-security zones — ensuring sensitive sites remain secure against unauthorised access.

Telecom Networks

Telecom infrastructure spans long distances through ducts, buried corridors, and urban environments. While fire is less of a concern, these assets are highly vulnerable to external threats. Bandweaver’s PIDs detect activity along buried cables, identifying risks such as construction damage, accidental strikes, or deliberate malicious attacks. With pinpoint accuracy, operators can respond immediately to prevent service interruptions, fibre cuts, or security breaches.

Switching Hubs & Exchanges

Switching hubs and exchanges are critical nodes in telecom networks. Bandweaver’s LHD systems protect electrical rooms, cable galleries, and switchgear from fire, while PIDs secure perimeters and entrances against intrusion. Together, these solutions ensure continuous, safe operation of these high-traffic network centres.
