BOAT is a simulation of a network in mesh topology which focuses on being "adaptable" where each node (ship) tries to find a better connectivity thus generating an "optimal" route until it fails or interference occurs to force a new point of search access.

Our goal is to provide internet on board almost anywhere in the ocean, this with a speed of up to 54Mbps and reach a range of up to 70kms

How does B.O.A.T work?

Iit is a reception and retransmission of information from any port in the world, from which the signal will be transmitted from ship to ship, until it reaches its final node of which it is desired to transmit information, which is possible due to the wi max protocol, which has a range of more than 60 kilometers around.

Thanks to this range, most ships can connect with each other since the average distance between ships is 30km

Our network implements a signal amplifier (bullet m), they are access points with an integrated RF N connector system; This makes it possible to be plugged directly into an antenna to create an outdoor access point.

BulletM:

They have up to 600 mW of power. The Bullet M is recommended for long distance links, with real TCP / IP speeds over several kilometers distance. which together with the signal k technology which is a modern and open data format for marine use. Built on standard web technologies including JSON, WebSockets and HTTP, Signal K provides a method for sharing information in a way that is friendly to WiFi, cellphones, tablets and the Internet. A format available to everyone, where anyone can contribute, Signal K is the first truly open data format for the marine industry and is set to revolutionize how we consume and interact with data on boats. Therefore, the security of information management is guaranteed.

pros and cons

pros

*internet on almost every part of the ocean

*low cost

*easy to install

cons

*it is a unestable network

*it depends on the cuantity of users to work properly
