Ocean connectivity

Ocean Connectivity is a project that proposes a new way of providing internet in the ocean in a cheaper way for the user and with greater efficiency taking advantage of the advantages that the use of fiber optics and installing different access points in strategic directions.

Currently, obtaining an internet connection in different parts of the ocean is mostly done via satellite, which in many cases does not reach the quality required or desired by users, regardless of how expensive it is to hire such service and buy the equipment required for this type of connection.

Ocean Connectivity seeks to implement the use of optical fibers in the ocean to create a network where you can connect to the Internet easily and without additional costs for the user. In principle it is proposed the use of extensions from underwater optical fibers that are currently attracting the oceans and joining continents; these extensions connected to antennas, which are found in marine buoys, which emit the signal to the different affected access points in nearby buoys, to which the different devices of the users are connected directly.

The use of marine buoys that are provided with different mechanisms for obtaining energy, maintaining the power of the equipment that is responsible for emitting the internet signal by the ocean which makes the energy used by these equipment self-sustaining. In addition to using these elements, different network typologies can be applied as required and even extend the desired range.

When using optical fiber for the connection we obtain a considerable advantage of speed in the transmission of data, a great bandwidth to others that does not suffer electromagnetic interference, has a resistance to different temperatures.

With this system, the signals would reach the devices as a classic Wi-Fi signal, so whoever connects to this device will not be required to have special equipment.
