dstelecom leads project of MIT Portugal program in the value of 1.7M€
K2D, an acronym of Knowledge and Data from the Deep to Space, is the name of the research project, worth 1.7M€, which dstelecom, in partnership with entities from the National Scientific and Technological System and MIT, propose to develop over the next three years, under the MIT Portugal Program, corresponding to the challenge of guaranteeing the sustainable evolution of the earth, through the monotoring of terrestrial systems, anticipating their critical failures. K2D addresses this challenge “proposing the development of a global scale and totally disruptive monitoring system for the oceans, from the depths to the surface, through sensing and satellite which allow a holistic knowledge of the earth`s global system” advances dstelecom. The challenges under water and in particular at extremelly depths, are enourmous and the environmental exposure excessively hostile to conventional sensing approaches, which makes them extrmely expensive and makes any attempt to extend the monitoring approaches currently available to the atmosphere to the oceans impossible. For this reason, “K2D proposes to take advantage of the existing widespread infrastructure of submarine communications and energy transport cables to produce a network for continuous and real-time detection of vital signs of the land and, in particular, of the […]
