The proliferation of autonomous underwater vehicles is adding to the urgency of developing reliable techniques for robust, reliable links, both between these vehicles as well as to them from above the ...

TWO LANGUAGES. Today, communicating with people on the other side of the world is super easy — as long as they’re not underwater, that is. Radio signals help us communicate wirelessly on land, but ...

A new underwater communication and networking technique can achieve kilometer-scale ranges while consuming about one-millionth the power required by current communication methods. MIT researchers have ...

Kyocera demonstrated a breakthrough in underwater wireless optical communication, achieving speeds of 5.2 Gbps using laser technology. This system is 2.5 times faster than conventional methods, ...

Submarines and aircraft can't talk to one another, but that may one day be routine if a new MIT technology pans out. The Translational Acoustic-RF (TARF) communication system uses a combination of ...

Challenges in approaches to creating underwater communication links. How a unique piezoelectric array can be used for zero-power links. The special electrical and mechanical issues addressed when ...

MIT Media Lab researchers have taken a step toward solving a long-standing challenge with wireless communication: direct data transmission between underwater and airborne devices. Today, underwater ...
