underwater telecommunications

Underwater telecommunications involve transmitting data through cables or acoustic signals beneath the ocean's surface. Undersea cables, made of fiber optics, carry internet, phone, and data traffic rapidly across continents, similar to land-based cables but built to withstand harsh marine conditions. Acoustic communication uses sound waves to send signals through water, often for submarines, research, or remote sensing, since radio waves don’t travel well underwater. These systems are essential for global connectivity, maritime operations, and scientific data collection, relying on specialized technology to ensure reliable, high-speed information transfer across vast underwater distances.
