Description
Are SMART cables part of our future? This presentation will help you navigate the unexplored depths of the oceans. A relatively new approach enables utilizing submarine fibre optic telecoms cables in a way that they were never originally designed for. This approach still allows for transmission of petabytes of data, but also to turn the cable into a sensor itself. SMART cables provide additional research data to monitor the climate, volcanoes, tectonic plate movement and marine life in new ways, without the need to build additional dedicated research infrastructure. Come and find out how members of our community have been involved in this new initiative and contribute to this emerging research field.
