Private Enterprise utilizes VANGUARD FOCUS DAS technology to monitor and protect long-haul network infrastructure from data theft, damage and downtime.  

 

VANGUARD FOCUSNX™ and VANGUARD FOCUSLX™ are the latest evolution of Network Intrusion Detection Systems from NIS, using long-range fiber optic sensors with Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) to detect, classify, and locate intrusions with precision. This technology delivers a scalable, mission-ready solution that ensures network uptime by identifying threats in real time, preventing damage, and strengthening resilience against evolving attacks.

HOW IT WORKS

Both VANGUARD FOCUS models employ Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology to effectively monitor your cables in real time, identifying risks to your cable infrastructure with a precision of up to 1-meter resolution.

The systems monitor a single strand of SM fiber within long-haul cables and pathways, accurately locating events such as digging, conduit impacts or cable tampering. This proactive detection minimizes the chances of downtime or data security breaches. By utilizing patented daisy-chaining techniques, protection for any cable length can be ensured.

TWO MODELS TO MEET VARYING MISSION REQUIREMENTS

  • VANGUARD FOCUSLX – Optimized for shorter distances, this cost-effective solution requires less processing power and is ideal for distances less than 20Km. 

  • VANGUARD FOCUSNX – Designed for longer distances, this model provides greater processing power and expanded coverage, making it the preferred choice for longer installations where uninterrupted monitoring across extended distances is critical
  • 24/7/365 monitoring of network cables detects tampering or intrusion events on optical communications cables
  • Monitors events along cables up to 100km in length
  • Identifies the exact location of the event in question
  • Detects and locates multiple simultaneous events at multiple locations
  • Low installation cost, using a single strand of telecommunications grade optical fiber
  • No bandwidth bottlenecks or degradation of network performance
