""We are inventing things others can't do and are now deploying them at scale," said Chief Executive Magnus McEwen-King, describing the contract as a breakthrough moment for the company."
"Sintela's technology is based on distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), which uses fibre-optic cables to detect and interpret vibrations and sounds across long distances."
"The approach offers a significant advantage over traditional surveillance methods, particularly in remote or large-scale environments where installing and monitoring cameras would be impractical or prohibitively expensive."
"Beyond border security, the technology is being used to protect critical infrastructure, including subsea pipelines, power lines and transport networks."
Sintela, a UK technology company, has secured a $200 million contract with US authorities to deploy advanced fibre-optic sensing systems for border security. This contract expands an earlier $34 million agreement and highlights the demand for AI-driven monitoring systems. Sintela's technology utilizes distributed acoustic sensing to detect activities like footsteps and digging in real time. The system offers advantages over traditional surveillance methods, especially in remote areas. The technology is also being used for critical infrastructure protection beyond border security.
