The Challenge | Internet on the Ocean
The internet is not easily accessible in many areas of the world, like the Earth’s oceans. Fishermen, sailors, and others have limited data connection with the rest of the world. Although satellite internet is widely available, it is very expensive for a user to implement. Your challenge is to design a low-cost method of delivering internet to people located far away on the ocean.
Oceanic - The Internet Buoy
Oceanic is an innovative buoy able to bring internet connection on the Earth's Oceans. Its secondary task is the monitoring of the Sea Value, such as: depth, pH, temperature and wind speed.
For the United Nations Internet is an inviolable Human Right, and today internet in not accesible in many areas of the world, even more in the Oceans. So we made Oceanic. "Oceanic" is an innovative buoy, able to bring the internet connection to the most remote areas of the ocean. Its task is to establish a satellite connection through the "Lora WAN" and also analyzes the water values: depth, temperature, ph and humidity. The system is stabilized by a couple of gyroscopic helix. It is composed by a bio-plastics, that are not dangerous for acquatic life. It has also 8 solar panel that produces 1.7 kwatts of power.
