ABSTRACT - For the needs of modern telecommunications, the trend of constantly laying new optical cables is increasing. The additional use of this medium as a sensor for various measurements increases the utilization and cost-effectiveness of the entire system. In this paper, we provide an overview of the many available technological trends for various measurements (distributed sensors), as well as their utility in various infrastructure and other challenges.
