STL (NSE: STLTECH), a prominent provider of optical and digital solutions, has made a notable breakthrough in enhancing the cost-efficiency and performance of its Fibre Optic Sensing (FOS) technology. This development involves the integration of advanced AI models into the Nvidia Jetson series modules, resulting in improved capabilities for fibre optic sensing.
STL’s platform features a robust AI/ML stack for FOS, built on millions of training hours, and sets new standards for precision, recall, and F1 scores across various operational and maintenance challenges related to cable infrastructure and physical site security.
The AI-FOS solution is poised to transform network monitoring and asset protection, particularly in predicting fibre cuts. The AI-driven system can forecast potential fibre interruptions under varying weather and site conditions, enabling network infrastructure owners to significantly reduce their operations and maintenance expenses.
At the launch of the AI-FOS solution at IMC 2024, A S Sangha, CMDE (NSO), stated, “This solution offers a compelling case for enhancing border security and minimizing fibre cuts in telecom networks, which is essential for maintaining seamless communication. I wish STL great success in scaling this initiative.”
Badri Gomatam, Group CTO of R&D of the company, remarked on the integration of Nvidia Edge AI, saying, “Incorporating this technology elevates our FOS solution. It enables continuous monitoring of multiple fibre optic cable systems, allowing for precise fault geo-localization ahead of any potential issues. With Edge AI, we can deliver outstanding performance and cost-effectiveness to our customers.”
