Cable Theft Detection for Telecoms

The impact of cable theft on telecommunications

Cable theft is a major problem in telecommunications as cable reels and pre-commissioned installations are sometimes left exposed and vulnerable to opportunistic thieves and organised criminal gangs. Cables are valuable commodities due to the copper wiring contained inside, as telecommunication installations use extensive lengths of cabling and fibre optic cabling which can sometimes be left unfinished and exposed, making these types of operations a target for theft.  

Telecommunication installations are live environments, which means there are safety hazards for thieves, as well as materials and installation costs to the telecoms operators. In addition to this, telecoms organisations could face damage to infrastructure, essential services and associated assets through attempts at cable theft. FRG Tremors is a proactive security solution designed to prevent cable theft, and you can adapt it for your telecoms operations today.
