Abstract :
In the context of future seabed underwater scientific observatories, a new Wi-Fi antenna (at 2.45 GHz) was recently developed for high data rate and short range wireless underwater applications [1]. It supports real time video and rapid large file transmissions (54 Mb/s during experiments). Also its simplicity and compatibility with standard Wi-Fi equipment (modems, etc.) makes it a low cost solution for underwater applications.
