About Sintela LTD About Sintela Sintela specializes in Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing (DFOS) for safety‑critical applications. We work with mine operators and engineers to apply DFOS to geotechnical monitoring, rock mass response assessment, and tailings storage facility surveillance. By using fibre optic cables as continuous sensors, DFOS enables real‑time, spatially distributed insight that supports early hazard detection and proactive decision‑making. Sintela Mining partners collaboratively with the industry to develop DFOS solutions tailored to mining environments and safety objectives. Sintela is a leading manufacturer of advanced Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) solutions. Our flagship ONYX™ platform turns existing fiber optic cables—dark fiber or spare telecom pairs—into a powerful, continuous monitoring network capable of spanning up to 130 km per unit with sub-meter spatial resolution. Powered by patented low-noise technology and AI-driven event classification, ONYX detects and precisely locates a wide range of threats and anomalies in real time, including perimeter breaches, intrusions, digging, vehicle movements, gunshots, strain, temperature changes, vibrations, and third-party interference—all with exceptionally low false-alarm rates. Key applications include: Perimeter and site security for borders, airports, campuses, data centers, utilities, and casinos Pipeline and power line protection against tampering, leaks, or encroachment Rail and transportation corridor monitoring for track integrity, trespass, and cable theft Structural health monitoring and predictive maintenance for bridges, tunnels, and facilities Critical infrastructure resilience across diverse high-value assets Sintela’s technology has proven itself in demanding, real-world environments, including a major multi-year U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Linear Ground Detection System (LGDS) contract for large-scale border security. To date, we have successfully monitored over 55,000 km of assets worldwide. Because ONYX is passive, electromagnetic interference (EMI)-immune, and intrinsically safe, it requires no new cabling, power sources, or active components along the fiber path—making deployment fast, cost-effective, and minimally disruptive. The result is rapid ROI through reduced downtime, lower maintenance expenses, fewer security incidents, and significantly enhanced safety and operational resilience.
