Ocean wave measurement data provide critical information to a variety of applications, such as marine**transport, aquaculture, infrastructure design, oceanographic research, marine safety, etc. MarineLabs is one of**the leading companies providing real time wave monitoring and data analysis services from fleets of their**compact, cloud-connected, buoys for groups and industries who need to know marine conditions. The company**has developed a new generation of IoT wave sensors named mWave: a compact and cost effective wave**measurement solution, that is world leading in the marketplace.**This project aims to improve the wireless transmission component of the wave sensing solution for real time**delivery of the data. The wide area communications requirement in this marine IoT application is challenging:**high data throughput with high reliability, low power consumption for battery operation over several months,**and rhythmic ocean wave blocking the radio transmission path regularly. This project will troubleshoot the low**transmission efficiency problem in the current system, and design new solutions that meet the communications**requirement of the wave sensing system using the latest cellular technology for low power machine type**transmissions. The expected outcome will significantly enhance the data transmission capability of the wave**sensor product with low power consumption. Energy harvesting from natural sources to help extend the battery**life will also be investigated. The proposed research will help MarineLabs to quickly extend its product line to**an important and emerging market and enhance its mWave offerings, strengthening its market share in this**area.
