Product Information

ONYX peta is the flagship Distributed Fiber Sensing platform from Sintela. It provides quantitative distributed acoustic measurements over long fiber lengths with industry leading sensitivity and high spatial resolution in a compact, low power unit.

With inbuilt processing able to process over a petabyte of acquired data per day, and user definable processing workflows it also provides a flexible DAS edge processing capability.

The state-of-the-art ONYX™ software provides a user-friendly and intuitive experience, incorporating leading-edge detection and classification algorithms. It delivers meaningful and actionable information tailored to specific applications, effectively lowering the ownership costs of monitored assets. Addressing the unique challenges of each industry client, ONYX™ efficiently resolves issues and optimizes performance.

Key Product Features

  • Quantitative measurements | ONYX™ is a fully coherent, phase-based DAS system which enables the use of sophisticated event classification algorithms to achieve a low nuisance alarm rate.
  • Up to 50KM (31 Miles)
  • Industry leading sensitivity | Capable of resolving an axial strain of 1.5 pico-strain using standard single-mode optical fiber.
  • ntegrated compact design | All the optical sensing components, electronics and processing hardware have been incorporated into one compact unit.
  • Small form factor | Using only 3U of rack space and weighing less than 17kg, ONYX™ is easy to transport and once installed has a small footprint
  • Full software control | All the acquisition sensing parameters such as pulse width, gauge length, sample rate and decimation factor are software defined and can be quickly and easier changed to enable the optimum settings use in each deployment.
  • Industry leading algorithms | Based upon many decades worth of combined experience the Sintela team have developed a suite of application specific, detection and classification algorithms providing unrivalled levels of detection with low rates of nuisance alarm
  • Web based user Interface | Each ONYX™ incorporates its own web server providing the user with remote web access to a modern user interface from any web browser on a secure intranet / internet connection.
  • Distributed architecture | ONYX™ has been designed around a fully distributed architecture eliminating single points-of-failure in multisystem networked deployments.
  • Automatic setup with fiber monitoring | An automated installation process simplifies the setup, commissioning and testing stages of the ONYX™ implementation.
  • Open architecture | ONYX™ is an open system meaning that a customer can load and operate their own software upon the ONYX™ hardware if they prefer.
