Underwater Optical Wireless Communications and Networking underwater optical communications

ISL scientists have developed a hybrid sensor network that overcomes the shortcomings of acoustic and optical waves. Acoustic and optical waves are two of the most commonly used underwater wireless communication systems. The new hybrid sensor network can transmit acoustic and optimal signals simultaneously. This feature alongside other developments makes the sensor network a potential solution for the increased demand in high quality underwater communications. Mohammed Slim-Alouni, a Professor of Electrical Engineering at KAUST believes that using a combination of acoustic and optical waves
