Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU), with input from Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN), wrote a report on the technical aspects and developments in sensing on submarine cables. The title of the report is ‘Feasibility Study on Sensing Applications of a Subsea Fibre Optic Cable in Arctic Oceans’. In this deliverable, a feasibility study on sensing applications of subsea fibre optic cables is provided. This is done in relation to Work Package 5 Task 3 in the project “Northern EU Gateways”. The study completes the task and is conducted in the period from April to December 2023. The study is based on input from a submarine cable vendor, general research literature, other similar sensing projects, and consultations with relevant climate researchers and companies. As a vendor, Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) has been chosen, as ASN fulfils the initial requirements for consultancy and has relevant
Climate Change SMART nodes in their product portfolio and roadmap.
