Abstract :
A ship to ROV communications system is described that provides an FDDI compatible port for network traffic. Additional traffic including sonar and navigation data is electrically multiplexed with the network data into a hi-directional 250 Mb/second serial bitstream. Six channels of high quality digitized video are also uplinked on a separate 1.25 Gb/second bitstream. Multiplexing permits the system to operate on two optical fibers, allowing efficient cable design
