APTelecom, a global telecommunications advisory and investment firm, today highlighted its collaboration with FiberSense, a leader in distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology, following early successes in Europe and the Pacific region to accelerate market access and deployment of subsea cable monitoring capabilities across international markets.
Through this collaboration, APTelecom has worked closely with FiberSense to accelerate engagement with key stakeholders across the subsea and carrier market sectors. Leveraging its global network and long-standing industry relationships, APTelecom has supported FiberSense in navigating complex market dynamics and accessing decision makers that would typically take years to reach.
FiberSense’s DAS technology enables real-time monitoring of subsea cable systems, enhancing visibility into potential threats, environmental conditions, and overall system integrity. As global dependence on subsea infrastructure continues to grow, so too does the need for practical, scalable solutions that improve resilience and operational awareness.
“In today’s environment, with shifting global security dynamics and a growing focus on the security of critical infrastructure, the ability to monitor and protect subsea cables has become essential,” said Sean Bergin, President and Co-Founder of APTelecom, and Pacific Telecommunications Council Board member. “FiberSense brings a differentiated and deployable capability to the market, and we are pleased to support their efforts in engaging with operators and other stakeholders globally.”
The collaboration reflects a shared focus on strengthening the resilience and security of global digital infrastructure. By combining FiberSense’s sensing technology with APTelecom’s commercial and strategic advisory expertise, the two organizations are helping bridge the gap between innovation and deployment. “Working with APTelecom has enabled us to accelerate our engagement across key markets and align more closely with the needs of subsea operators and carriers,” said Mark Englund, CEO and Founder. “Their ability to open the right doors and guide market entry has been instrumental as we expand internationally.”
Subsea cables carry the vast majority of global data traffic, forming the backbone of the digital economy. Ensuring their protection and reliability is increasingly critical to economic stability, national security, and continued digital growth. The APTelecom and FiberSense collaboration is focused on supporting this objective through targeted market engagement and real-world deployment of advanced monitoring solutions.
