Fibre optic infrastructure is the backbone of digital connectivity—but it’s constantly at risk from construction activity. At Telekom Malaysia (TM), third-party contractors are responsible for more than 30% of fibre cut incidents—each costing thousands of Ringgit to restore and disrupting critical services across banking, healthcare, and government institutions.
PATROL from TM R&D helps prevent costly damage to fibre by automating construction risk detection using AI-powered video analytics and IoT (Internet of Things). It processes footage from patrolling vehicles in real time, identifies threats, and instantly notifies Network Operations Centres and field teams—so you can intervene before damage is done.
