SAMM Teknoloji and OPTOKON Group Announce Partnership for FOTAS Fiber Sensing System

As SAMM Teknoloji; we are delighted to announce establishing a strategic partnership with the OPTOKON Group, which is headquartered in the Czech Republic; this partnership will tie efforts concerning FOTAS, The Fiber Optic Based Distributed Acoustic Detection System.

SAMM Teknoloji and OPTOKON Elektronik, the subsidiary of the OPTOKON Group, will be in a technology and product development partnership for mission-critical applications as well as providing business development and solutions to their clients. The FOTAS system will also be distributed by the OPTOKON Group.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing technology senses vibrations through standard fiber optic cables and only uses one fiber optic cable in the field to protect the perimeter. The FOTAS system provides 24/7 protection exceeding 50 km for oil, gas and mining industries, military installations, public buildings, airlines, railways and highways, power plants, border security and all major industrial and residential sites. The safe operation of a facility is monitored by continuous, local, and remote monitoring of the operating conditions for all supporting technologies, including the optical pyrometer developed by SAMM Tecknoloji – the "invisible optical fence". The system will be used as part of the secure environment in the new OPTOKON DATA CENTER VYSOČINA, which will be opened in August 2022.

Jiří Štefl, the General Manager of the OPTOKON Group says:

"OPTOKON is excited to expand our relationship with SAMM Teknoloji, a long-standing and valued partner dedicated to continuous improvement, sustainability, and social responsibility. We look forward to expanding our global portfolio as we continue growing our strategic relationship with SAMM.
