Abstract :
The NNN-UTS project (Nordområdenes Nye Nervesystem - Undervanns Trådløst Sensornettverk) has aimed to develop wireless network technology for underwater sensor networks, employing acoustic communication to realize wireless functionality in water. Research and development has been carried out in 2006-2009. A final sea test/demonstration of the system was carried out at Breiangen in the Oslo fjord, on December 3-4 2009. The result is a fully operative network system available for water depths down to 4000m.
