Hi Vince, | Hi Vince, | ||
instead of a string of Seasteads, what would you think about sinking a large number of wifi routers? Power would be a problem, obviously, but a huge grid of interconnected submerged Wifi-stations might be profitable because they would be a lot cheaper than satellites and cruiseships etc could use them as well.

Transponders at the bottom of the sea
Hi Vince, instead of a string of Seasteads, what would you think about sinking a large number of wifi routers? Power would be a problem, obviously, but a huge grid of interconnected submerged Wifi-stations might be profitable because they would be a lot cheaper than satellites and cruiseships etc could use them as well.

- Not sure what you mean. High speed radio or microwave signals do not go through water. If it is a small thing floating on the surface and anchored to the bottom then it could have trouble seeing over 8 to 15 foot waves. It could be possible to have a fixed line of them to reach out to an anchored seastead 200+ miles from anywhere. But I like troposcatter better for that. Vincecate 02:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
