What if our networks could do more than just carry data?
In December, the Fibre Sensing Task of the GÉANT (GN5-2) Project, together with SURF @SURF turned 57 km of live optical fibre into a sensor.
The result? Detecting everything from trams to a plane landing at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
🎥 Watch Chris Atherton walk us through the experiment.

Good morning from #Rennes! Le Couvent des Jacobins has just opened its doors to #TNC24 participants, for a full day dedicated to side meetings. Today’s topics include #research engagement, #clouds, #security, #network automation and orchestration, #education, #StudentMobility, #intercontinental #connectivity, #IdentityFederations, #FibreSensing, marketing and communications, employee retention.
Check out the programme to find out where your meeting is taking place: https://tnc24.geant.org/programme/
PROGRAMME Plan your TNC With over 50 sessions, 20 partners, 17 demos, 2 Lightning Talk sessions and 2 plenaries it can be hard to work out what to see. With our podcast series of interviews with session chairs, BoF and Side Meeting organisers and Partners we hope to give you an early insight to help
Listen to our ‘Get Ready for TNC’ podcast to help you prepare for your #TNC24. Chris Atherton from @geant discusses the first session he is chairing at TNC titled ‘R&E Engagement’ which is focused on engaging and understanding R&E #communities to ensure #sustainability and relevance of our community. His second session ‘#FibreSensing’ will discuss all things cable sensing!

Yet we struggle to understand these stakeholders and their demands. Explore with us, share your experiences, ideas and opinions as we learn about successful approaches to research-engagement and research developments from around the world.Monday 10th June 09:00 - 12:30 CEST | Salle 13Chair: Chris Atherton (GÉANT)Fibre SensingOur world is changing around us all of the time. The fibre infrastructure we rely on for communication is also able to be used to sense what is going on within the planet. This session will bring interested groups together to discuss all things cable sensing.14:00 - 17:30 CEST | Salle 6Chair: Chris Atherton (GÉANT)
Ivana Golub from PSNC features in episode 4 of our #TNC24 podcast. She will chair the "Colours of Light: Non-Data #Network Services" session on Tuesday 11 June 16:00-17:30 in Les Dortoirs.
The session dives into how we can use our optical network infrastructure for #quantum technologies, transfer of time & frequency services & what's happening under the sea using #FibreSensing.

Listen to this episode from Get Ready for TNC on Spotify. Once upon a time, our optical networks existed primarily to send and receive IP data packets. While it is still the case in many networks and while more and more data packets are travelling all around the world, the landscape is changing, in some networks faster than in others.In this session, we will hear about emerging ways how our optical network infrastructure can be used for quantum technologies, transfer of time and frequency services, and with the use of fibre sensing - what is happening under the sea.Tuesday 11th June 16:00 - 17:30 CESTChair: Ivana Golub (PSNC)
