VIAVI Solutions wins at the SBR Technology Excellence Awards 2024

Its B-OTDR solution helps to improve worker safety in mining and tunnelling projects to avoid incidents and casualties.

Communications equipment company VIAVI Solutions has been awarded the SBR Technology Excellence Awards 2024 in the Network and Broadband - Telecommunications category for the success of its fibre sensing technology and Brillouin OTDR (B-OTDR).

B-OTDR is an instrument for measuring temperature and strain along an optical fibre cable. VIAVI B-OTDR has a patented algorithm for simultaneous temperature and strain measurement from a single end and requires only one fibre. It is available in a portable platform for commissioning and routine auditing, or a rackmount platform for permanent monitoring.

A lab test was conducted in 2023 as a proof of concept. During this test, a rockbolt was tensioned to produce various strains. The B-OTDR then performed measurements to detect and measure the various tensions. The lab test result demonstrated that VIAVI B-OTDR was able to measure the effective strain of a rockbolt with good accuracy.

This successful lab test proved the VIAVI B-OTDR can help to improve worker safety by avoiding casualties in mining and tunnel projects as any excess strain in construction materials and surface deformation can be detected early through the monitoring of a sensing fibre’s strain.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
