Connecting the Internet of tens of billions of devices all over the world, but has not yet brought the grid under the water, but scientists have recently developed a system that works as a promoter WiFi For divers in the depths of the sea, allowing them to share images and footage in real-time to computers on the surface.
Used a technique that called “Aqu-fi” And radio waves to transfer data from your smartphone for the diver to Raspberry Pi Related with under water, after that you lamps LED Or laser beams to send data to a computer on the surface translates to photos or videos.
According to the “Daily Mail” the British, the researchers say that their system is able to “upload and download multimedia between your computer, a few feet in the static water”, with data transfer at a speed of 2.11 Mbps.
Bass said Shehadeh from the King Abdullah University of Science and technology: “people from the academia and industry want to control and explore underwater environments in detail“.
Supports Aqua-Fi Internet services, such as sending multimedia messages, either using lamps LED Or laser beams, and technology is used radio waves to transfer data from your smartphone for the diver to the computer Raspberry Pi Related their device under water.
Similar to the booster which increases the range of WiFi For home internet, sends Aqua-Fi Data using the beam light to a computer on the surface is connected to the internet via satellite.
Computer analysis of images and videos to the series, which translates to rays of light work quenched at very high speeds.
The group chose the system by uploading and downloading content between your computer, a few feet in hard money, they got to the speed of data transfer has a maximum output of 2.11 Mbps average delay 1.00 milliseconds round trip..
Added chehadé: “this is the first time I used anyone internet underwater wireless fully, and we hope to improve the quality of the link and the scope of transmission of electronic components faster.“
The researchers noted that the light beam must remain parallel with the receiver in the water, moving and thought in the design of the device is spherical is able to capture the light from all angles.
