Sterlite Electric Limited and RDT Lumiker have announced the formation of a joint venture, Sterlumiq, to develop and deliver advanced optical monitoring solutions for power and telecom cable networks.
The joint venture has introduced Cable Advanced Monitoring Optical System (CAMOS), a fiber-optic sensing and analytics platform designed to transform conventional cables into intelligent, self-monitoring infrastructure. The platform integrates optical sensing technology, field hardware, and digital analytics to enable real-time visibility into cable performance.
CAMOS is aimed at addressing growing complexities in power systems driven by grid modernisation and renewable energy integration. The system provides continuous monitoring, early fault detection, and precise fault localisation, helping reduce downtime and improve network reliability.
Pratik Agarwal, Managing Director of Sterlite Electric, stated that increasing grid complexity has created a critical need for enhanced visibility into infrastructure such as cable networks. He noted that the partnership with RDT Lumiker is a strategic step toward bridging this gap by combining engineering expertise with advanced sensing technologies.
Frederic Trefois, Chief Executive Officer of Sterlite Electric, highlighted that grid infrastructure is transitioning from purely physical systems to intelligent, data-driven networks. He added that Sterlumiq represents a significant move toward expanding capabilities into digital and analytics-led solutions.
Manuel Munoz Luengo, Chief Executive Officer of RDT Lumiker and appointed CEO of Sterlumiq, said the platform enables continuous, real-time measurement of cable performance, allowing operators to detect anomalies early, accurately locate faults, and shift toward predictive maintenance models.
The CAMOS platform is designed to deliver operational efficiencies, including up to 60% reduction in energy losses caused by outages through early detection, over 50% reduction in maintenance costs via remote diagnostics, and improved transmission capacity through dynamic asset loading.
Sterlumiq’s solutions are expected to benefit a broad range of stakeholders, including transmission system operators, distribution utilities, renewable energy developers, industrial consumers, and data centres, where reliability and operational continuity are critical.
