A Continuous Distributed fiber optic sensor system involves the optic fiber with the sensors embedded with the fiber, plus electronics, connectors, data acquisition module, software, and miscellaneous components; however, ElectroniCast quantifies the optical fiber, cable (fiber jacket) and the sensor elements in this forecast data (only).
Monitoring and data transmission using fiber optic sensors and optical fiber in cabling is now commonplace with Continuous Distributed fiber optic sensors. Some distributed fiber optic sensors use multiple Point sensors, which are networked together with optical fiber, creating a point-to-point (multi-point) distributed line; however, we do not consider it a continuous (non-stop) distributed intrinsic fiber optic sensor line. The very nature of a Point sensor, by our definition, is a stopping point therefore the sensor line is not continuous.
