Abstract

In this study, we shortly introduce MariComm bridge of MariComm (Maritime Broadband Communication) project to provide broadband internet/multimedia services available at a rate of 1 Mbps or more on the sea. MariComm bridge enables MariStations to form the maritime heterogeneous relay networks. Thanks to this bridge function, MariStation can act as a gateway node or a relay node according to the connection possibility of a terrestiral base station. And finally, marine performance tests of this noble maritime communication system on 4 vessels in the Korean southern sea are introduced.
