Scientists
at the Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) are working on a modem that
will be able to provide users the ability to connect to the
internet in an underwater environment, and shared preliminary results
of their efforts with reporters on Friday, Russian news agency
RIA Novosti reports.
"The first results show a capacity
for a 1.2 kbp/s connection under conditions of [underwater]
constraints. Today, according to our data, similar devices in Russia
operate at a speed of 0.2 kbp/s. Simulations have been carried out,
and new prototypes have been created with pressure and temperature
sensors. The technical characteristics of the devices are on a level comparable
with the best foreign analogues, and have no analogues
in Russia," said Yuri Svinolupov, the head of the Laboratory
of Telecommunications, Instrumentation and Marine Geology.
