Perimeter Security with Fiber Sensing Solution

Roll Out Intelligent Airport Perimeter Systems

Every airport, of course, prioritizes perimeter safety since any intrusion poses a very real security risk to apron operations. But standard technical protection systems are no longer fit for purpose, frequently reporting false alarms, especially during adverse weather. Worse still, extreme weather events such as typhoons drastically reduce system-wide availability, resulting in hundreds of false alarms on a daily basis. Such a situation cannot be allowed to pass.

So Huawei worked with the Second Research Institute of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and other industry partners to develop an advanced solution — the Perimeter Security with Fiber Sensing Solution — for smart airports.

This state-of-the-art solution uses distributed fiber optic sensing to precisely identify ambient vibrations caused by wind and rain, filtering this noise out so that only real intrusion alarms are reported. As a result, the solution delivers 24/7 comprehensive long-distance coverage in any weather, missing almost no alarms and generating very few false ones. And the result? More intelligent airport perimeter systems, safer operations, and a better work environment for airport staff.
