Lightsonic builds an AI-powered software platform that overlays existing fiber optic cables to turn telecom networks into distributed, real-time sensor grids. The platform applies machine learning to detect and classify events such as underwater intrusions, gas leaks, and physical tampering without requiring hardware upgrades. As a purely software-based solution, it aims to enable rapid deployment at scale with lower upfront costs compared with hardware-heavy alternatives. The company positions its product for both public infrastructure programs and private industrial customers focused on asset monitoring, environmental compliance, and resilience. Lightsonic plans to grow its team, accelerate product development, and prepare for commercial rollouts across Europe and beyond. It is based in Kristiansund, Norway, and operates a UK subsidiary.
