Proud to be a part of Aragon Photonics.

At Aragon Photonics, we create, manufacture, and sell cutting-edge distributed fiber optic sensing solutions for various sectors, including power cables, railways, seismology, and perimeter security. Our growing line of distinctive products is based on exclusively licensed and proprietary patents. Our innovative solutions, driven by algorithms and Artificial Intelligence, are utilized across various strategic sectors. We have a highly qualified staff and work closely with universities and research centres to transform brilliant ideas into award-winning products. Alongside significant businesses from several industries, we take part in European innovation programs.

Aragon Photonics was founded in 2004 with the goal of developing an innovative Optical Spectrum Analyzer for testing and measuring optical signals, which is widely used in the Telecommunications sector. With the experience and knowledge gained along the way, in 2014 we entered the distributed Fiber optic sensing market by developing several DAS sensors. Today, our product portfolio encompasses more technologies, and our range of DFOS solutions is present in most strategic sectors.

In an environment where work-life balance and equal opportunities are fundamental pillars, our company stands out not only for its profitability and prospects but also for being technologically advanced. Our commitment to innovation allows us to develop advanced solutions that enhance the security of strategic markets for countries, thus contributing to a better society.
