UnderwAter optical wireless communication network architecture empowered by adVanced opticAl materiaLs for sea bOrder protection and deep-sea exploratioN
AVALON envisions the design of a reliable and flexible, secure and private, scalable wireless system that supports high-speed underwater communication.
The AVALON project aims to develop a powerful technology that will dramatically increase the capabilities of current underwater wireless optical communications by enabling high data rates and near-latency-free broadband communications in real time beyond the underwater line-of-sight and over distances of up to 100 metres. These results are expected to open the door for the realisation of novel highly capable underwater optical wireless networks for military applications.
