About
Prisma Photonics provides optical fibre sensor solutions for monitoring large-scale critical infrastructure, offering hyper-scanning optical fibre networks that enable monitoring sensitivity for detection and target classifications with lower false alarm rates. The company technology uses pre-existing optical communication fibres as sensors, providing ultra-sensitive detection and intelligent learning detection without requiring additional sensor installation along the infrastructure. Prisma Photonics serves multiple sectors with industry-specific solutions: Power Lines with PrismaCapacity for capacity monitoring, PrismaCircuit for circuit monitoring, and PowerClimate for climate impact monitoring; Perimeter security for detecting intrusions along fenced or virtual perimeters; Oil and Gas pipeline monitoring for leak detection and structural integrity; Secured Compounds for high-security facility protection; Subsea infrastructure monitoring for underwater pipelines and cables; Smart Rail for railway track and signal monitoring; Smart Road for traffic infrastructure and road condition monitoring; and Cyber security for detecting physical tampering with fibre optic communication networks. The company hyper-scanning technology turns existing optical fibre networks into distributed sensor arrays, enabling continuous real-time monitoring over tens of kilometers of infrastructure with precise localization of events. By leveraging the optical fibres already installed along power lines, pipelines, railways, and roads, Prisma Photonics eliminates the need for deploying thousands of discrete sensors, reducing cost and complexity while providing comprehensive coverage. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, Prisma Photonics has raised approximately $80 million in Series D funding from investors including Insight Partners, SE Ventures, Future Energy Ventures, INcapital Ventures, Chione Switzerland, Elements, Israel Electric Corporation, The Israel Natural Gas Lines, Adara, and i3 Partners.
