Abstract
Underwater wireless communication is an advanced research area need to be explored extensively. This topic is highly significant for various purposes, starting from aquatic pollution control, marine life monitoring, and quality of the water and moreover signal transmission. Different sensors can be used under water for the above said applications. For signal transmission under water, sound waves and optical signals were used extensively in back. The drawback is low data rate, attenuation and backscattering due to suspended particles which are the major challenges. To meet the above challenges here, a prototype of underwater RF wireless network is developed. It not only establishes the wireless network but also tracks the underwater devices and updates the location in the IOT cloud. It also measures temperature, vibration and quality of the water using underwater sensors and update in www.thingspeak.com website. The established underwater wireless network provides coverage upto 1.2 km in diameter and 50 m in depth which is highly considerable. Further optimization can be done to enhance the range.
