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.

Penguinfy: a low cost adaptive oceanic internet and intranet platform

Penguinfy

Penguinfy is a low cost adaptive oceanic internet and intranet platform that utilizes the Penguinfy modular nodes to create a mesh network with disruption tolerant networking architecture, assisted with an array of modular plug & play sensors, all overseen by a standalone software that, with the assistance of NASA datasets, provides its own communication services, weather reports, and hazard alerts for its users. The high costs of use, deployment and maintenance of current offshore communication services inspired the creation of Penguinfy, delivering an array of free and low cost solutions for the offshore maritime environment.
