Optical fibres are all around us, enabling long distance communications powering the internet, CCTV beside highways and signals on our railways. Distributed Acoustic Sensors (DAS) can connect to these fibres and, by measuring distributed dynamic strain, use them to infer the pattern of life near the fibre. DAS has possible use cases spanning multiple markets including; transport, where fibres near road or rail are used to measure traffic; energy, where fibres in boreholes are used to maximise production rates and security where vibrations from footsteps indicate trespass. Focus Sensors produce a new form of DAS called Indus.Having commercialised Indus, Focus Sensors wish to demonstrate its value across a broad range of applications by performing a number of field trials. Before COVID-19, an extensive worldwide program of field trials was planned. However, inability to travel and work with customers and end users on their site has made it impossible for trials to go ahead as planned. In the new reality, a new approach is required.Trial Indus will be developed in this program. Trial Indus will be deployable remotely without need for Focus Sensors' employees to enter customer's site. For the first time, using internet networks and cloud computing, Trial Indus will allow remote real-time processing of data collected from customer infrastructure. Results will be viewed on simple, configurable dashboards, that can be made available to customers as well as to FS engineers. Trial Indus will allow streamlined remote deployment and collaboration between FS and our customers at a deep technical level, without any risk of COVID-19 transmission. This will directly accelerate uptake of Indus, leading to numerous benefits for FS and for the UK.

光纤遍布我们的周围，使互联网、高速公路旁的闭路电视和铁路信号的远距离通信成为可能。分布式声学传感器（DAS）可以连接到这些纤维，并通过测量分布式动态应变，使用它们来推断纤维附近的生命模式。DAS可能的用例跨越多个市场，包括：运输，其中公路或铁路附近的光纤用于测量交通;能源，其中钻孔中的光纤用于最大限度地提高生产率和安全性，其中脚步的振动表明侵入。Focus Sensors生产一种名为Indus的新型DAS。在将Indus商业化后，Focus Sensors希望通过进行大量现场试验来证明其在广泛应用中的价值。在COVID-19之前，计划了一项广泛的全球实地试验计划。然而，由于无法在其网站上与客户和最终用户一起旅行和工作，试验无法按计划进行。在新的现实中，需要一种新的方法。试验印度将在这个计划中开发。Trial Indus将可远程部署，无需Focus Sensors的员工进入客户现场。Trial Indus将首次使用互联网网络和云计算，允许远程实时处理从客户基础设施收集的数据。结果将在简单、可配置的仪表板上查看，可供客户和FS工程师使用。Trial Indus将允许FS与我们的客户在深度技术层面上简化远程部署和协作，而不会有任何COVID-19传播的风险。这将直接加速印度河的吸收，为金融服务和英国带来众多好处。
