In the realm of fire detection, where precision and reliability are paramount, Our Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) system is one of the advanced and reliable futuristic technologies utilizing fiber optic cables. DTS technology provides accurate, timely and precise fire detection with advanced scalable features to be implemented across various sectors i.e Road & Rail Tunnels, HV Cable Installations, Process Industries, Data Centers, Pharma, Hazardous Areas, Airports, Museums, Metro Rail.
Here we have explained how DTS systems are revolutionizing fire safety and why they are the future of fire detection.
Why Choose Fibre Optic Based Fire Detection Systems?
Conventional fire detection systems often rely on discrete sensors that may leave certain areas unmonitored. In contrast, fibre optic-based fire detection services offer continuous temperature monitoring along the entire length of the fibre optic cable, ensuring no blind spots. Here’s why they stand out:
- Real-time Monitoring: Provides instant alerts by detecting temperature changes along the fibre.
- High Precision: Locates hotspots to within 1 meter, even over long distances.
- Durable and Reliable: Resistant to vibration, electromagnetic interference, and harsh environmental conditions.
- Cost-Effective: Reduced maintenance costs due to minimal moving parts.

How DTS Systems Like FireLaser Work
- Laser Pulses: A laser source sends light pulses through a fibre optic cable.
- Raman Scattering: Some light is scattered back due to molecular interactions within the fibre.
- Temperature Detection: The system measures the intensity of anti-Stokes light (temperature-dependent) and Stokes light (temperature-independent) to determine the local temperature.
- Hotspot Localization: The time taken for the scattered light to return helps pinpoint the exact location of hotspots.
Advantages of Fibre Optic Based Fire Detection Service
- Comprehensive Coverage: Monitors thousands of points / zones along the cable’s length.
- Enhanced Safety: Ideal for hazardous environments where traditional sensors fall short.
- Low Maintenance: No moving parts, ensuring longevity and reduced operational costs.
- Customizable Alarms: Intelligent algorithms tailored to specific needs.
