Synaptec is a small- to mid-sized company based in Glasgow, Scotland, operating in the appliances, electrical, and electronics manufacturing sector. Founded in 2014, it develops and deploys photonic sensing systems that use existing optical fibre networks to measure the parameters required by electricity network operators for both primary monitoring and ancillary control. The aim is to reduce downtime and operating costs by providing instrumentation that is cost-effective and high-performance, underpinning monitoring, protection, and control across power networks. The company targets electricity network operators seeking reliable monitoring and protection capabilities for infrastructure. It cites a global footprint with live deployments around the world, reflecting its role as a sensor-based monitoring solutions provider within the sector. A notable recent development is the May 2025 launch of Greenlight, a monitoring solution designed to address failures in high-voltage cable joints and terminations.
