20 Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a device and in batches based on a request for baseline sensing data associated with a fiber optic cable, the baseline sensing data;

determining, by the device, a baseline sensing profile based on the baseline sensing data;

receiving, by the device and in batches based on a schedule associated with a request for additional sensing data associated with the fiber optic cable, the additional sensing data,

wherein the additional sensing data identifies at least one of:

amplitudes of vibration signals,

frequencies of the vibration signals,

patterns of the vibration signals,

times associated with the vibration signals, or

locations along the fiber optic cable associated with the vibration signals;

processing, by the device and based on comparing the additional sensing data to the baseline sensing profile, the additional sensing data to determine a measure of how quickly a detected activity is capable of damaging the fiber optic cable; and

performing, by the device and based on the measure, one or more actions.
