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.

Internet on the Ocean using the Long Range Router

KeLaut

Provide sufficient internet for the fisherman,sailors and rural islands around. In addition, to stay connected with the loved one, also can leverage to make their work better & productive.

Our technology is based on the Long Range WiFi, to provide the ships and the buoy with the internet with the radius 60 kilometers. These ships and buoy will act as nodes to transfer/ amplify the internet among them. Our project image above will explain on how it works and its connections. Also the Long Range router that will be installed on ships and buoy will convert the wave energy into electrical energy to supply electricity to the router.

There are also future features that might be used if there's sufficient internet in the ocean. The fisherman can detect the formation in the sea with new technologies using the internet. Next, we can implement the universal data proxy for oceanography, here it means the data regarding the ocean behaviors, present of the fish or any other things related to the ocean can be shared among them. Based on the NASA Data Sets, there is a proposal on the Ocean Life Detection on Alien Worlds, Phase 1. This project is based response to NASA's request for technologies that can enhance the detection of life in alien oceans.
