SeaNet: Providing Internet Services for Shipboard Research

这份授予马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的合同提供技术人员和硬件，以支持和扩展现有的SeaNet项目，为海上进行海洋研究的船只和岸上设施提供互联网和其他计算机通信能力。SeaNet是一项为美国学术研究船队的研究船带来增强通信协议的发展。这种能力大大增强了外联和K-12教育活动的努力，特别是对于将海上实时研究项目与公共和基础教育活动相结合的研究人员。SeaNet还为船舶运营商在管理船上通信方面提供了实质性的好处，包括电子邮件和大数据文件传输，代表船舶的科学用户，它提供通用协议和高速卫星通信接入。该合同已经在六艘学术研究船上实施，目前的合同将增加四个新系统，并支持操作、硬件和软件的维护，以及一些增强的通信能力

0083693MaffeiThis award to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts provides technical personnel and hardware to support and extend the existing SeaNet program to provide Internet and other computer communications capabilities between vessels conducting oceanographic research at sea and facilities on shore. SeaNet is a development bringing enhanced communications protocols to research vessels of the U.S. academic research fleet. This capability substantially enhances efforts for outreach and K-12 educational activities, in particular, for researchers combining real-time research projects at sea with public and elementary education activities. SeaNet also offers vessel operators substantial benefits in managing shipboard communications, including both electronic mail and large data file transfers, on behalf of scientific users of the vessel, and it provides common protocols and high-speed access to satellite communications. Already implemented on six academic research vessels, the present award will provide for addition of four new systems as well as support of operations, maintenance of hardware and software, and some enhanced communications capabilities.***
