Problem
Subsea cables and critical infrastructure face constant threats from negligent shipping, dark fishing, malicious actors, and environmental factors, leading to potential disruptions in global commerce and communications. Current monitoring solutions often lack real-time threat detection and predictive maintenance capabilities, resulting in costly outages and reactive repairs.
Solution
Lumetec provides an early warning system that transforms existing subsea fiber optic cables into a real-time awareness network, enabling proactive monitoring, deterrence, and prevention of threats. By fusing multi-modal sensing data with AI-powered analytics, Lumetec delivers precise threat detection, continuous health monitoring, and long-term deterrence for subsea cables and maritime infrastructure. The system accurately identifies potential threats, reduces false positives, and provides actionable insights to owners and operators, allowing for immediate intervention and minimizing cable damage.
Target Audience
Lumetec's primary customers are owners and operators of subsea cables, offshore wind farms, oil and gas infrastructure, and other critical maritime assets.
