We’re kicking off 2026 in style with an educational breakfast session hosted by Global Underwater Hub in their Newcastle office with a deep dive into fibre optic sensing – covering all the individual hardware approaches, what the hardware lets you achieve technically and economically, and then in key detail lifting the lid on the service operations that exploit those rich datastreams to really drive cable health and longevity. Thanks to Ricci Boston and Chris Jones for making the event a reality.
📢 Our first Global Underwater Hub sponsored breakfast networking event of 2026: Listen to Your Cables: Monitoring with fibre optic sensing for better through life health.
