This Italian company created the first underwater Wi-Fi

Wsense is an Italian company that has developed the first underwater Wi-Fi system. This technology uses acoustic waves, the same language used by dolphins and whales, to transmit data from underwater sensors to the surface in real time.

WSense, an Italian company, has developed the first underwater Wi-Fi system. This technology uses acoustic waves to transmit data from submerged sensors to the surface in real-time. It works at depths of up to 3,000 meters, making it ideal for monitoring the ocean's deepest reaches.

WSense's technology can be used to monitor the impact of climate change on the ocean, track resources such as food and energy infrastructure, and detect emergencies. It can also be used to gather data on marine life and ecosystems.

Underwater Wi-Fi for Ocean Monitoring

Monitoring the ocean's health is essential for protecting our planet. WSense's technology allows scientists to collect real-time data on a wide range of parameters, including water quality, temperature, salinity, and current. This data can be used to track changes in the ocean's environment and identify potential problems early on.

Emergency Response

WSense's technology can also be used to set off alarms during emergencies, such as oil spills or algal blooms. This allows authorities to respond quickly and minimize the damage caused by these events.

WSense is currently working on improving its technology to work at depths even greater than 3,000 meters. This would allow the company to monitor the entire ocean, including the deepest trenches.
