New York, NY - Future Fibre Technologies Pty. Ltd. (FFT), a global leader in the development, manufacturing, and installation of fiber-optic intrusion detection systems, announced the grant of two additional United States patents by the U.S. Patent Office.

The two patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,499,176, and 7,499,177, protect improvements to the optical fiber-based intrusion detection system that FFT pioneered in the late 1990s and patented in the U.S. and abroad.

Implemented in FFT's Secure Fence Secure Link and Secure Pipe solutions, the patented technology is important for optimizing and maintaining system sensitivity, accuracy and repeatability in a wide range of environmental conditions. Its effectiveness in safeguarding perimeters and critical infrastructures has been demonstrated with over 150 systems installed throughout the world.
