Magal Security Systems from Yahud, , Israel, has received an order to secure 200+ km of buried pipeline with its fiber optic sensor system. The system is based on Magal’s COTDR long range fiber solution, which uses standard single mode communication fiber to detect any attempt to dig close to the pipeline – be it for terror or criminal tapping.

Saar Koursh, CEO of Magal S3, said that it is a major win, resulting from many demos, trials, proofs of concept and smaller projects. “We have managed to mature our solution, extend the maximum coverage range and put ourselves ahead of the competition. This is an emerging market with a potential size of tens of thousands of kilometers.”

Magal S3 provides solutions and products for physical and cyber security, and safety and site management. Its Ranging Fiber Optic Sensor is based on a standard single mode fiber optic cable buried along a pipeline with a processor that can cover tens of kilometers, and detect digging close to the pipeline with accurate location within 10 meters.
