Our Story
NetworkSense Solutions was founded by industry experts Schalk Bothma and John Burger, who saw the need for advanced fiber optic solutions to meet the growing demands of modern infrastructure. With decades of combined experience in ICT infrastructure, fiber optic sensing, and structured cabling, they built NetworkSense Solutions to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world applications.
From the start, our mission has been clear: to provide innovative, reliable, and cost-effective solutions that enhance security, improve monitoring, and protect critical infrastructure. Today, NetworkSense Solutions is at the forefront of fiber optic sensing, serving industries that rely on real-time monitoring and robust security.
What We Do
At NetworkSense Solutions, we specialize in fiber optic technology that ensures the safety, efficiency, and longevity of critical infrastructure. Our solutions protect and monitor:
- Pipelines – Detect leaks, ground movement, and third-party interference.
- Electrical Cables – Prevent energy theft and infrastructure tampering.
- Conveyor Systems – Monitor performance and identify issues before they cause failures.
- Perimeter Fencing – Provide real-time security surveillance for large and high-risk areas.
Using advanced Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology, including DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing), DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing), and DSTS (Distributed Strain and Temperature Sensing), we enable real-time monitoring of critical infrastructure, ensuring faster response times and enhanced protection.
