The fibre optic advantage
Turning a fibre optic cable into a sensing medium takes a very simple
idea and turns it into a powerful tool
No power or electronics are required in the field
High reliability and low maintenance
Consistent over very long distances
Real time sensing performance
Intrinsically safe immune to EMI, RFI and

lightning
Use existing fibre optic infrastructure
Extremely cost-effective security solution
Proven technology and proven performance
Principle of operation
Passive Start
Junction
Sensing Controller
Inactive leadin cable
Fibre optic sensing cable
Passive Terminator
A fibre optic cable is used as the sensor
A laser light is sent down the fibre
When any motion or vibration acts on the fibre, or anything the fibre is
attached to or buried in, the light wave is affected
This change of light is detected by the controller and the event is classified
using patented FFT technology
FFT products
FFT provides a family of fibre optic intrusion detection solutions, delivering the
complete range of end-to-end PIDS, pipeline protection, and network security solutions
Ability to deliver a system for the smallest to the most complex and demanding sites
FFT systems are built around a number of advanced features that:
Deliver high reliability with low maintenance
Operate over long distances - up to 80km or 50

miles of sensor cable with a single system
Pinpoint the location of an event or intrusion to as

close as 6 metres (20 feet)
Have high detection rates (POD)
Have low nuisance alarms (NAR)
Signal discrimination
FFTs uses proprietary technology to deliver high sensitivity to

intrusions without the penalty of nuisance alarms including:
Intelligent event classification to process the signals, identifying and

eliminating nuisance alarms due to environmental noise such as
rain, wind, aircraft, traffic etc. while simultaneously maintaining the
same high levels of sensitivity.
Advanced multi-parameter signal analysis to improve intrusion event

signal discrimination by clearly
indentifying what is a real event and
what is a nuisance alarm

Case Study deployed at a solar

power plant
FFT Secure Zone was selected to protect the perimeter of a 10-acre

solar power plant in the USA that generates about 2.4 million kilowatthours (kWh) of clean, renewable energy a year.
The plant features 4,620 sun-tracking solar panels, each worth
thousands of dollars. The risk of theft or damage to these panels was
very real.
A highly reliable zone-based perimeter intrusion

detection system was required to protect this site.
Able to tolerate extreme UV levels, high temperatures
Unaffected by the strong electromagnetic fields present
27
Case Study Deployed at a solar

power plant
After evaluating a range of technologies, the reasons

the client settled on the FFT Secure Zone system:
High reliability and proven tolerance to extreme UV levels,

high temperatures, and harsh conditions
Fibre optic based, so is unaffected by the strong

electromagnetic fields present
Ease of installation and maintenance
Minimal nuisance alarms
FFTs local support capability.

Case Study installed at a 250km

Middle-East perimeter
This sensitive Middle East installation protects a perimeter fence

in excess of 250km long that runs through some of the toughest
desert conditions imaginable.
A system was required to detect and provide the precise location of

intruders without generating false alarms from the high desert winds
experienced in this region.
It had to be easy to install, reliable, with no ongoing

maintenance
Due to the remoteness of the site,

there was never the option of
providing power on the fence line.
40
Secure Fence case study
After evaluating many proposals, the client selected FFT

Secure Fence because:
Only seven controllers were required to protect the entire

250km boundary.
Installation was simple and cost-effective as no power or

controllers were required to be installed on the fence.
FFT Secure Fence delivers the exact GPS co-ordinates of

an intrusion attempt
The advanced signal processing reduced nuisance alarms

without compromising detection sensitivity.
Support and training was provided by FFTs local office
41
Secure Fence - deployed at military

airbase to protect fighter aircraft
FFT Secure Fence was recently selected to provide the perimeter

protection of fighter aircraft and equipment at a sensitive military
airbase in Asia-Pacific.
Protects the perimeter fence which is in excess of 7,000 meters or

23,000 feet long by detecting all unauthorised intrusions.
Provides the precise location of intrusions so that CCTV

can be used for verification
A proven history of operating reliably at military

airports in a range of harsh weather conditions
No trenching permitted below

runways or taxiways
42
After reviewing all proposals, the client selected FFT Secure

Fence due to:
Its high detection performance
The ability to provide the precise location of an intrusion
Discrimination of nuisance alarms without compromising

sensitivity
A proven history of military airports around the world
Protects the entire airfield perimeter with just one

FFT Secure Fence system
No need for power and controllers installed in the field - unlike

the alternative solutions proposed.
43
44
FFT Aura SR
One FFT Aura SR system handles medium

length perimeters up to 16km or 10 miles long
The sensor cable can be installed on almost all fence types,

covertly buried in the ground, or both simultaneously
Identify & track vehicles, people, and digging activities
Pinpoints intrusions to 6 metres (20ft) or better
Detect activity up to 25 metres away from the buried sensor*
Requires no power or electronics in the field
Sensor cable cut resilience - continued operation up to the point of the cable
cut standard, with self-healing resiliency an option
Immune to EMI, RFI and lightning

*Distances may vary depending on soil type/condition
45
46
FFT Aura SR applications
