One of the problem for people who spend a lot of time in oceans without any civilization is that Internet price tends to be incredibly high with low bandwidth. It is because of expensive implementation of satellites what makes it inconvenient. During Space apps hackaton, we developed solution which decrease costs of monthly pay 150 eur/month per person) and dramatically increase internet speed up to 25 Mbit/s. WiFiOc is a network of 6500 autonomous wave gliders with special sensors and high power transceivers that send data by radio waves (approximately 11GHz). These units will cover the Northern Atlantic Ocean. In this way, we solve Earth's curvature problem as well as cost of technology because space-based solutions tend to be incredibly expensive. Besides that we are considering to sell (or to give) data to meteorology corporations so they can calculate a more accurate forecast and broadcast it news to the sailors. Thus, people who are in danger can react more quickly. What concerns maintenance, we are considering to use benefits of NASA knowlegde about oceans’ current flows and do constant inspection in coasts. In this way, each device will be inspected within year to ensure high quality Internet service. We estimated that our solution will pay off after 2 year including investment and constant maintenance.
