FAST Laser Groupdevelops solutions for the photonic, fiber optic, telecommunications, and fiber-sensing industries, among others. The companyprovides products as representatives and services, and develops solutions for the monitoring and control market in the oil and gas industry. FAST Laser Group has beencollaborating with the Technion Institute to develop hardware and software algorithms, based ondistributed fiber-sensing technology, to measure the strain and temperature along a standard fiber.Such technology can provide full turnkey solutions to the oil and gas industry by preventing leaks in pipelinesthrough the detection and location of ground movement and third-party interference. The companys technology is able todetect and locate leaks in onshore and offshore pipelines; ensure flow in subsea flow lines; monitor thecondition and performance of heat-traced pipelines; monitor fatigue and operating conditions of subseaumbilicals, risers, and flow lines; and detect intrusions.
