Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The mission of the organization is to educate and promote the advantages and benefits of fiber optic sensing.

Education - fosa hosts regular webinars for members and non-members for the purpose of educating the public about fiber optic sensing technology and its numerous uses and benefits. Fosa also publishes industry news on its website. Member engagement - fosa holds a monthly call for all members and separate periodic calls for fosa committees (e.g., technology) to discuss fosa initiatives and encourage member engagement to further fosa's mission. Advocacy - fosa assists members to engage with lawmakers and policymakers to promote policies that are favorable to fiber optic sensing technology and expanding its availability and use in both the public and private sectors. Fosa has sponsored two "hill day" events during which members traveled to washington, d.c. For meetings with their congressional representatives to discuss issues of importance to entities that have deployed or wish to deploy fiber optic sensing technology.
