Subsea cables face gradual degradation from environmental forces, mechanical stress, and seabed dynamics. These factors, if undetected, can lead to unexpected outages and costly emergency repairs. The Lumetec Early Warning System provides continuous insights into cable health metrics such as burial depth, strain, and movement, offering operators a clear picture of their infrastructure’s condition.
With advanced diagnostics and predictive analytics, the Early Warning System transforms cable maintenance from a reactive to a proactive process, protecting your investment while increasing the reliability of your infrastructure.
Pinpoint exact locations where cables are under heavy stress, exposed, or vulnerable to abrasion, enabling precise, proactive intervention.
Detect when, where, and why network flapping occurs, and predict these events before they impact service delivery.
Identify damage caused by landslides, ocean currents, or extreme weather conditions. Quickly deploy repair crews to address these issues, minimizing downtime and preserving network integrity.
Subsea cables are subject to a variety of risks, including burial depth shifts, mechanical strain, and suspension at key points. By continuously monitoring these factors, operators can address potential failure points before they escalate into costly outages. Predictive insights ensure maintenance teams focus resources on the most critical areas, preventing issues from evolving into disruptive events.
Traditional cable maintenance often relies on reactive measures, responding to failures after they occur. Lumetec’s intelligent monitoring system shifts this paradigm by providing actionable data on cable health. For example, operators can prioritize and appropriately schedule shunt fault repair strategies, minimizing downtime while reducing operational costs.
Environmental wear and tear, such as stress from ocean currents or shifting seabeds, can degrade cable infrastructure over time. Continuous health monitoring extends the operational lifespan of cables by identifying signs of fatigue early and enabling targeted interventions. By maintaining cables in optimal condition, operators maximize their return on investment and ensure reliable service for years to come.
