Wireless Network Systems and Related Methods for Marine Applications

摘要

Implementations of communication devices may include: a housing having a hollow compartment in a waterproof shell. The waterproof shell may be configured to float on a surface of water. The communication device may include a computing system having a memory and a processor within the hollow compartment of the housing. The communication device may include an onboard power unit electrically coupled with the computing system. One or more radios may be coupled with the housing and with the onboard power unit and the computing system. The one or more radios may be configured to act as a gateway by receiving data from one or more watercrafts and transmitting the data to one or more receivers over a radio telecommunication channel.
