Riyadh: A brand new type of wireless internet has been tested underwater
that will open new avenues of communication in the depths of the water.
Like Wi-Fi, it has been dubbed 'Aqua-Fi', which allows divers to exchange
video and data directly from the depths of the water, but L.E. D’s and lasers
were used in the process.
This work has been done by experts from the King Abdullah University of
Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, the details of which have been
published in the latest issue of IEEE. Basim Shahada, one of its founders, said
it was the first-time underwater internet had been used entirely via wireless.
In the process of aqua-Fi, radio waves are sent to the diver's smartphone
and a raspberry pie is connected to the computer behind it. The raspberry pie
thus acts as a gateway and sends data from the same computer to the surface of
the water in the form of a ray of light. Here a device is taking over the
internet via satellite which works just like a Wi-Fi booster.
Although voice and radio can also be connected underwater, they have
their own limitations. Light can carry large amounts of data even underwater.
That's why the benefits of Aqua Fi are countless.
In the process, radio waves from the underwater person's smartphone
travel to the gateway computer behind him. This data is now converted into
green LED light and transmitted to another computer on the surface, which is
equipped with a light detection system. It should be noted that the first
computer converts video and images into another zero series.
Experts have experimentally exchanged more than 2 megabytes per second of
data with Eco-Fi.
