SeaNet: Providing Internet Services for Shipboard Research

0083693马菲该合同授予位于马萨诸塞州的伍兹霍尔海洋研究所，提供技术人员和硬件，以支持和扩展现有的SeaNet计划，为在海上进行海洋研究的船只和海岸上的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。 这一能力大大加强了外联和K-12教育活动的努力，特别是为研究人员将海上实时研究项目与公共和基础教育活动相结合。 SeaNet还为船舶经营者提供了管理船上通信的巨大好处，包括代表船舶的科学用户进行电子邮件和大数据文件传输，它还提供了共同的协议和高速接入卫星通信的途径。 目前的合同已经在六艘学术研究船上实施，将提供四个新系统的增加，以及操作支持，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.***
