Fibersonics’ business model is to integrate our state of the art monitoring technologies with the end-user security or monitoring systems offered by our partners. We recognize our strengths and focus on them. Our partners, likewise, have strengths that complement our products. As such, our products are normally integrated into a more advanced and complete monitoring or security system, such as SCADA, PSIM and Alarm Management Systems. Typically, these systems also integrate a suite of complementary products and provide a professional graphical user interface (GUI).
Fibersonics has a growing list of partners from around the world. If your company is interested in working with us, please contact us.
