SONATRACH and Huawei Jointly Innovate a Smart Oil and Gas Pipeline Fiber Sensing Inspection Solution

BARCELONA, Spain, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At the MWC Barcelona 2024, SONATRACH, the state-owned oil company of Algeria shared the achievements of the smart oil and gas pipeline fiber sensing inspection solution deployed with Huawei. The solution ensures high security, intelligence, and high efficiency of pipelines through automated pipeline inspection, which is enabled by distributed fiber optic sensing technology.


As a key contributor in the oil industry of Algeria, SONATRACH runs about 43 oil and gas pipelines, accompanying with 14,000 km optical cables. Traditional manual inspection is costly and inefficient, and it is difficult to obtain the pipeline running status 24/7 in real time. The SONATRACH Joint Innovation Center hopes to work with Huawei and other partners to reduce O&M costs, proactively warn pipeline damage, and quickly locate fiber cuts using innovative technologies.

Huawei has developed an innovative pipeline fiber sensing solution using the distributed fiber optic sensing technology. In the solution, Huawei OptiXsense EF3000 (an optical sensing device) is deployed to implement 24/7 high-precision automatic pipeline inspection and warning.

The smart oil and gas pipeline fiber sensing inspection solution is based on Huawei’s optical fiber sensing solution and live-network service management process. When external construction occurs around a pipeline, the accompanying optical fiber deployed along the pipeline collects vibration information and transmits the information to the optical sensing device deployed in a station or block valve station (BVS) equipment room, thereby achieving precise positioning.

Joint innovation practices show that the fiber warning solution has excellent performance in pipeline inspection scenarios, for example:

  1. Different events such as fiber cuts, manual excavation, and mechanical excavation can be accurately analyzed, so that a valid site visit can be arranged.
  2. The alarm accuracy is high, with a false positive rate of only 0.012 times/km/day. All alarms within 2 meters above the optical fiber can be reported normally.
  3. The positioning capability is powerful. The average positioning error is less than 10 meters, and the GIS location information on the optical cable map is accurate.

Sana Lallali, manager of SONATRACH Joint Innovation Center, said, “Fiber Sensing Inspection Solution helps solve problems such as difficult manual inspection and slow risk identification. We are satisfied with the joint innovation achievements with Huawei. We hope to further cooperate with Huawei to promote the intelligent transformation of the oil industry.”

WiMi Announced Multi-Level Feature Fusion Algorithm Based on Convolutional Neural Networks

BEIJING, Nov. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that its multi-level feature fusion algorithm based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) can better capture the global and local information of an image and improve the performance of the model by fusing features from different levels.

Feature fusion algorithms have been widely used in computer vision, natural language processing and other fields. By fusing features of different levels or modalities, the expressive ability and performance of the model are improved to better solve complex tasks. The multilevel feature fusion algorithm studied by WiMi adopts a deep network structure, and gradually extracts the high-level features of the image through multiple convolutional and pooling operations, to better express the semantic information of the image. In addition, by fusing features at different levels, the model can focus on both global and local information about the image, thus improving the performance of the model. The multi-level feature fusion algorithm, as an improved CNN model, has important applications in the field of image processing. CNN is a deep-learning algorithm widely used in the field of computer vision. It extracts the features of an image through multilevel convolutional and pooling layers and performs classification and recognition through fully connected layers, which has the advantages of automatic learning of feature representation, parameter sharing and local perceptibility.

CNN-based multi-level feature fusion algorithms can improve the performance and generalization of the model by fusing features from different layers. A multi-layered CNN model is used which contains multiple convolutional and pooling layers and a fully connected layer for classification tasks. By fusing the features of different layers, the information of different layers can be effectively captured and the features of different layers of the image can be effectively extracted for better classification, thus improving the accuracy of the model. The application of the algorithm mainly includes the following key modules:

Feature extraction: First, the input image is feature extracted by CNN. Different levels of convolutional layers can extract features with different levels of abstraction of the image.

Feature fusion: The features at different levels are fused. Different fusion methods can be used such as weighted fusion, cascade fusion or parallel fusion. Weighted fusion can get the weight of each feature layer by learning, cascade fusion can connect features of different levels in series, and parallel fusion can process features of different levels in parallel.

Feature mapping: The fused features are mapped to further extract more discriminative features. This can be achieved using fully connected layers, pooling layers, or other nonlinear mapping functions.

Feature selection: Select the most discriminative features for further processing according to the needs of the specific task.

The multi-level feature fusion algorithm based on CNN improves the performance and generalization ability of the model by effectively extracting the multi-level features of the image and fusing them, and it has important research significance and application prospects. This algorithm has a wide range of applications in tasks such as image classification, target detection and image generation.

The current multi-level feature fusion algorithm mainly focuses on the fusion of shallow and mid-level features, and in the future, WiMi will further explore deeper feature fusion, such as the fusion of higher-level features, to improve the algorithm’s performance and expressive ability. The attention mechanism is introduced into the multilevel feature fusion algorithm to improve the network’s ability to perceive and utilize key features. In addition to CNN, other models can be considered to combine with multilevel feature fusion algorithms, such as recurrent neural networks (RNN) or graph convolutional networks (GCN), to further improve the performance and applicability of the algorithms. The performance of the multi-level feature fusion algorithm can be improved by improving the network structure, such as introducing residual connections and increasing the width and depth of the network.

The multi-level feature fusion algorithm based on CNN has been widely used in the field of computer vision, and in the future, WiMi will continue to expand to other fields, such as natural language processing, speech recognition, etc., to explore the potential and applications of multi-level feature fusion algorithms in other tasks.

Cable made with STL’s 160-micron fibre can pack 3X more capacity than traditional 250-micron fibre. This has been conceptualised and developed indigenously at STL’s Centre of Excellence in Maharashtra, making STL among the first companies globally to develop and patent this industry-leading technology.

As India becomes the fastest-growing digital economy in the world, there’s a need for densely fiberised networks, both in backhaul and closer to customers. Laying ducts account for ~60% of the entire fibre deployment cost, making duct space a precious asset. Network builders all over the globe are in a continued quest to reduce fibre size to pack in more and more capacity in the available duct space.

By packing more capacity in limited duct space with a reduced diameter cable of 6.4mm (~32% reduction compared to 250-micron fibre), STL’s 160-micron fibre will revolutionise deployment, bandwidth capacity and green quotient of the networks. The at-scale impact of this innovation on India’s broadband landscape can be immense. For example – In a large-scale project like Bharatnet, where India needs to deploy ~20 Million fibre km cable by 2025, using 160-micron fibre instead of the standard 250-micron fibre can potentially reduce the deployment time by ~15%. This enables the use of ducts with a smaller diameter, thereby reducing the plastic footprint in the ground by ~30%.

“This slimmest fibre is a noteworthy development and depicts our commitment to innovation and continuous R&D efforts in photonics and materials science,” said Dr Badri Gomatam, Group CTO, STL.

Incremental reduction in fibre size is an incredibly challenging feat which has captured the imagination of optical experts across the world. Some of the key challenges in reducing fibre size below 250-micron include enhanced sensitivity towards micro-bending and increased complexity in the fibre drawing process.

Talking about solving these challenges, Dr Badri added, “Through highly calibrated process and material engineering, we have achieved a breakthrough in manufacturing processes and glass compositions to realise micro bend insensitivity. ”

This product meets telecom-grade optical performance standards and complies with the ITU G.657A2 standard. This announcement comes after a series of innovations by our R&D experts, including India’s first multicore fibre with 4X capacity and 180-micron fibre.

This groundbreaking innovation exemplifies our passion to put Indian technology and R&D on the world map. I am extremely excited to imagine the future of India’s digital networks with this disruptive fibre design,” said Ankit Agarwal, Managing Director, STL.

Veritas Names Microsoft as First Veritas 360 Defense Partner to Achieve REDLab Validation for Security Solutions


Solutions reduce time to safe recovery by rapidly discovering last known good data

SINGAPORE, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Veritas Technologies, the leader in secure multi-cloud data management, today announced that Microsoft has become the first Veritas 360 Defense partner to achieve Veritas REDLab Validation for its security solutions. After testing Microsoft Defender with real-world malware in its REDLab isolated test laboratory, Veritas has certified the solution for secure integration into the Veritas Alta cloud data management platform and NetBackup family of products. Together, Veritas and Microsoft can rapidly identify the last known good copy of data following a ransomware attack to ensure a clean recovery to get organizations fully operational fast.

Veritas 360 Defense unveiled by Veritas today, offers organizations a blueprint on how to safeguard their data estate against the continually growing spectre of ransomware. Veritas 360 Defense brings together solutions from the Veritas portfolio, including Veritas Alta, the industry’s most complete secure multi-cloud data management platform, and those from leading security and cloud infrastructure vendors, such as Microsoft, to deliver a turnkey solution for secure cloud-native cyber resiliency. Customers will soon be able to access a library of reference designs, validated by the Veritas REDLab, to guide them on best practices for secure implementation of jointly deployed solutions.

Lawrence Wong, senior vice president of product management and chief strategy officer at Veritas, said: “When customers buy from Veritas and Microsoft, our solutions are not just sold together, they really work together. That is the value of our REDLab validation. Partners, like Microsoft, are able to add layers of security to our cyber resiliency solutions that ensure Veritas customers get a better experience from a comprehensive approach to protecting their businesses.”

Integration between Veritas Alta Data Protection and Microsoft Defender enables customers to scan backup data on inert, immutable, optimized storage to identify the last known good data copy. In doing so, the solution protects organizations from restoring any backup data corrupted by malware, preventing reinfection, and allowing them to bounce back faster.

Eric Burkholder, senior program manager, Microsoft Sentinel, said: “The evolving threat landscape means that enterprises constantly face new and challenging cybersecurity problems. The Microsoft portfolio of security solutions can be integrated with third-party offerings, such as the Veritas Alta cloud data management platform, to ensure that customers can rapidly achieve their security and protection goals and stay one step ahead of bad actors.”

Veritas REDLab Validation marks the latest step in a lasting strategic relationship between Veritas and Microsoft. Deep and established integration between the companies’ products and go-to-market strategies enables them to help customers build their zero trust security models and be cyber resilient. Together, they help to protect against downtime, data loss and regulatory penalties, and to provide the reassurance of recovery at scale, in the cloud and across their data estates.

Previous collaboration highlights between Veritas and Microsoft include:

  • Veritas delivered a simple UI-based integration with Microsoft Sentinel, ensuring all user audit trails, data anomalies and malware detected in the backup infrastructure are shared with the Security Operations (SecOps) team.
  • Veritas Alta Data protection is integrated with Microsoft Azure, which was also the launch partner for Veritas Alta Recovery Vault, Veritas’ cloud cyber-secure recovery data isolation vault with virtual air-gap controls that ensure a backup copy is always indelible, immutable and available for recovery.
  • Veritas Alta SaaS Protection was one of the first data protection solutions, hosted on Microsoft Azure, to be SOC2 and IRAP certified. Veritas Alta SaaS Protection was also one of the first data protection solutions to offer a private tenant architecture for SaaS protection based on Microsoft Azure, ensuring dedicated resources to eliminate conflicts and ensure data sovereignty.
  • Veritas Alta Data Compliance is deployed exclusively on Microsoft Azure around the world. This tight integration allows Veritas to extend its datacenter footprint to accommodate needs for data sovereignty in different regions of the world, in as little as three weeks.

Gabriel Muñoz, information technology director at Alestra, said: “Evaluating security and cyber resiliency solutions from multiple vendors in different proof-of-concept evaluations is time consuming and frustrating. Knowing that we can select products from Veritas and Microsoft that have been pre-tested and validated will free us from that burden and allow us to cut to the chase, so we’re protected faster from emerging cyber-resiliency threats.” 

Veritas is also a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), which is an ecosystem of independent software vendors and managed security service providers that have integrated their solutions to better defend against a world of increasing cyber threats. Currently, Veritas Alta and NetBackup are validated as part of MISA.
