Prisma Photonics, an Israeli startup which utilizes advanced optical fiber technology to monitor large scale power utility infrastructure, opened its first US office in Austin, Texas.
Founded in 2017, Prisma Photonics works with leading power utilities in the United States and Europe to deploy solutions that identify threats to transmission assets in real time while offering hyper-accurate line ratings to help utilities comply with US FERC regulations and increase capacity on congested networks.
- Earlier in 2023, Prisma Photonics, which has been using optical fibers to monitor Israel’s national transmission electrical grid since 2020, was awarded a contract by Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) to extend coverage to 1,000 km (over 620 miles), which is 20% of the transmission grid.
