NTT achieves 1 Mbps with underwater acoustic transmission

Researchers from NTT DOCOMO and NTT Communications achieved 1 Mbps in a joint experiment of underwater acoustic data transmission over a distance of 300m in a shallow sea area (water depth of about 30m).

The experiment used spatio-temporal equalization technology for broadband transmission and improved resistance technology for environmental noise. In addition, the researchers developed a wireless remotely operated vehicle (ROV) using these technologies.

NTT and DOCOMO said that extending data coverage to underwater areas could prove useful for ROVs used for underwater construction and fisheries.
