SENSEI: Unlocking infrastructure and environmental sensing capabilities of telecommunication fibre networks

SENSEI aims to develop new photonic devices and technologies to enhance the security, resilience, and efficiency of telecommunication fibre networks through improved supervision capabilities, while exploiting them as large-scale distributed environmental sensors. Funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme with €5 million over 3 years, the project brings together 15 partners from 6 EU countries with diversified and complementary expertise in photonics, optical metrology, geoscience, optical networking and network provisioning.
