Marine fishermen face challenges of limited cellular coverage and isolation during fishing trips, leading to safety risks and mental depression. This project proposes a cost-effective solution that enables fishermen to use their smartphones for internet access at sea, using Wi-Fi and a long-range backhaul network. The proposed solution allows marine fishermen to use their existing smartphones for internet access at sea using Wi-Fi. An Access Point (AP) on the boat connects to an onboard gateway, which then connects to a long-range Wi-Fi backhaul network .Availability of internet services at sea is essential for accessing applications and services that can improve fishing business, such as E-commerce and live data of potential fishing zones advisory, search and rescue operations . Link quality parameters need to be studied to identify locations with reliable internet connectivity for emergency communication using VoIP services and other applications.
