Monitor Structural Integrity
Rodger Shepherd, Vice President of Cleveland Electric Laboratories presented at the past Arizona Tech Council's Lunch & Learn. He shared insight into how existing fiber infrastructure with new fiber optic sensing technology enables passive monitoring of structures and secures environments, a technology that his company developed.
