en.Wedoany.com Reported - At the Submarine Networks EMEA 2026 conference, UltramapGlobal introduced the latest upgrade to its AssetMonitor platform, which integrates Lumetec's Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and State of Polarization (SOP) technologies. This upgrade aims to enhance real-time monitoring and protection capabilities for submarine cables, addressing the growing security challenges facing undersea infrastructure.

With rising geopolitical tensions and high-profile disruptions, submarine cables have shifted from invisible infrastructure to public focus, making undersea security a global concern. Discussions at the Submarine Networks EMEA 2026 conference in London therefore centered on how to protect these critical data links from both deliberate sabotage and accidental damage.

Mychael Owen, Head of Marketing at UltramapGlobal, and co-founder Martin Connelly outlined the evolution of the AssetMonitor platform since 2022. Initially focused on "providing assurance" for cable operators, the platform shifted in 2023 to a data-driven virtuous cycle, forming the philosophy of "better informed, better protected." By 2024, business expansion prompted the company to reinterpret data to match different clients' reporting needs. In 2025, AssetMonitor became the most widely used submarine cable monitoring software globally. Recently acquired by Abingdon Software Group, the company is preparing for its next phase of growth.

Connelly stated that the acquisition has not only left existing operations unaffected but has also provided customers with stability and continuity while strengthening the company. "They give us the ability to innovate and add software features when needed. We can now do better and bigger than ever before," he noted, adding that the collaboration has significantly expanded UltramapGlobal's international reach.

With the integration of Lumetec sensing technology, cable operators can access more data about their infrastructure's surrounding environment, further enhancing the security monitoring of undersea assets.
