Today, cable failure is largely unpredictable.
Preventative maintenance is limited to direct inspection every few years.
Wouldn’t it be better to be able to measure their condition and the environment they sit in?
Know in advance – when there is time to react.
Optimise your direct inspection and reduce the environmental impact of expensive boats mindlessly patrolling the cable routes.
We prevent the failure of subsea cables.

We understand cables. We started from first principles of investigating the nature of failure.
We understand fibre optic sensing. With over 40 years of expertise we know the topic inside and out. High fidelity Fibre Optic Sensing has the answers to understanding cable condition buried in the sensing record – but they are hard to extract.
Imagine putting a microphone in a busy office and trying to pick up a rarely occurring fault in the mains hum. Fibre Optic sensing can do the same – but it’s hard.
Volumes of data are crushing and the answers you seek only become apparent when you monitor for hours and days. The volume of data prevents conventional approaches.
Indeximate tackle both problems head on…
the conventional sensing industry has yet to provide a solution
We visit your cable and profile it for weakness, our patent-pending mechanical weakness metric produces a metre by metre measure of armour degradation & FO tube degradation, informing you on weak conditions.
But that’s not all or enough – we also profile the cable and the environment for 10 risk factors allowing you to pull together a complete story.
We can deliver this from a data collection of days to weeks or via permanent monitoring – allowing you watch how the situation changes over time
Or populate the output directly to your sensing cloud, hosted by Indeximate.
RISK IS LOWERED
We are hardware agnostic – we aren’t promoting expensive systems where you are unsure of the long term benefit
We are solely focussed on preventing failure of seabed cables. We aren’t distracted by other problems
We listen to what your cables are telling you. Most DFOS solutions just alarm on occurring failure. We view that as too late. We tell you far in advance of degrading condition with time to act.
We take a long term view and profile data for months and years – we are motivated by long term conditions.
