Initiatives around the worldsince 2008
3rd Fórum do Mar, Porto
all based on expensive and no universal technology
most simulation-oriented
5
Motivation
3rd Fórum do Mar, Porto
Wi-Fi land-sea communications not yet exploited
Wi-Fi freely available on land
Wi-Fi over license exempt bands higher Tx power, longer ranges
Wi-Fi is universal and affordable
6
The Mare-Fi projectWi-Fi for land-sea communications
ObjectivesStudy Wi-Fi performance for land–sea and sea–sea communications using license exempt bands
Extend free Wi-Fi on land to the sea using community networks of fishing boats
Develop Wi-Fi communication solutions adapted to sea environment
3rd Fórum do Mar, Porto
7
RoadmapFirst phase
– deploy land station and sea nodes (fishing boats)
– study land-sea and sea-sea Wi-Fi communications performance
Second phase– extend Porto Digital free Wi-Fi up to 5 nm
using fishing boats as relays (JANUS technology)
– develop Wi-Fi comms solutions adapted to sea environment

Economical impact– pioneer digital services at sea
e.g., Wi-Fi Internet access for vessels approaching harbors
– save money spent on celullar/satellite comms
– boost fishermen economical activity
– developed maritime comm solutions have exportation potential

Social impact– contribute to digital inclusion
– bring broadband to new users and geographical areas
– users at sea closer to family and co-workers
aligned with EU Digital Agenda 2020

Scientific impact– augment scientific knowledge on Wi-Fi maritime comms
– contribute to maritime communications standards
– conference and journal publications
