The design also SKT, underwater communication



[Korea ohahreum financial newspaper reporter] SK Telecom announced that it has 12 days to secure the water network core design technology that enables seamless communication even in the sea for the first time in Korea.

Once the network is built a water flow and salinity underwater algae, such as seismic waves measured by the sensor information in real time it can be transmitted to the ground.

This △ Tsunami, can benefit from a wide range of areas, including the seabed earthquake disaster response △ fishery resources and marine ecosystems, protection of the marine environment through water, building monitoring △ harbor defenses.

And the United States, Europe and other developed countries are building a wireless network by securing the underwater marine communications technology since the 1990s, and use them to monitor environmental change, such as sea defense sector.

SK Telecom has succeeded in developing network design skills to ensure the △ Korean water network model for Korea's coastline and seabed underwater terrain information and △ interlocking networks and existing maritime, terrestrial networks.

Underwater sensor networks are largely composed of water, water station, maritime communications buoy. The information collected by the sensors is transmitted via a communication base station to the marine buoys, and a structure in which data is through a satellite communication network, such as LTE · sent back to the earth. Sokeseoneun water from the sound waves, the air and transmits the data via radio waves.

SK Telecom Hoseo in 2015 to ensure the water network design techniques (lead agency, research director gohakrim University), Korea Maritime Institute of Science and Technology laying vessels offshore plant Research Institute, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Kyungpook National University, Inha University, jointly as Ang 'distributed underwater observation and control network development, has participated in the project.

"Distributed underwater observation and control network development 'project is a national research and development projects supported by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in order to ensure the water network technology and works with existing land-sea network. Come study the underwater communication technologies, and develop up to 2021.

SK Telecom, Hoseo such plans at this time to apply the development of underwater technology test bed network design to build a water network that runs in the second half of this year demonstrate the Yellow Sea in cooperation with the Chungcheongnam-do experiments and 2020.

In addition, SK Telecom strategy is to continue to develop the water network design technology actively involved in building projects scheduled for this underwater network since 2021. Also has a long-term plan to be linked to the land, sea and underwater communication network connection speeds to the sea IoT.

SK Telecom bakjinhyo network technology director, said, "The Republic of Korea has contributed to network design, technical advancement of maritime communications technology, SK Telecom," he said "time will bring the technology to secure the development of offshore fields such as disaster response, monitoring the marine ecosystem."
