USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education), August, 2005
A fiber-optic intrusion-detection sensor for protecting long perimeters has been developed by Henry Taylor, professor of electrical engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station. The cable--the same type used in the telecommunications industry--is buried eight to 20 inches underground. "We're projecting that this new type of distributed sensor will be able to monitor perimeters at about one-tenth the cost of other methods.
We envision application along national borders, and for fixed installations such as airports, nuclear plants, and military bases."
