Distributed Temperature Sensing

Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) is a technology that allows for continuous temperature measurement along the entire length of a fiber optic cable. Using laser pulses and analyzing the light signals that reflect back, DTS provides real-time temperature data at many points along the cable, often spanning kilometers. This method is useful in monitoring environments like pipelines, power lines, or environmental systems, helping detect issues such as leaks, overheating, or structural problems quickly and accurately. It leverages existing fiber optic infrastructure to deliver detailed, widespread temperature information efficiently.
