Abstract

Underwater wireless communication performs a critical role in tactical surveillance, water pollution control, oil exploration and maintenance, offshore mining, local weather control and oceanography research. It is an excellent operation for the military, industry, and scientific community. To facilitate these applications, wide variety of unmanned motors or units, which require excessive bandwidth and excessive ability to switch data are deployed underwater. Even though some of these goals have been achieved by underwater acoustic communication discipline but constrained by bandwidth. These factors have led to the advent of underwater Wi-Fi connectivity (UWC), which provides higher bandwidth than the usual acoustic contact systems with substantially reduced energy consumption and simplified technological problems for short-range Wi-Fi connexions. This paper under water wireless communication is achieved by using Internet of Things (IoT) an advanced technology along with microcontroller and Wi-Fi. In this study temperature, turbidity and distance between the objects are measured with the respective sensors connected to the transmitter and recorded at the receiver side by using IoT technology for different time intervals. It is concluded that the proposed UWC system based on IoT can be low cost, efficient and can be used for different applications related to underwater.
