RIASSUNTO

Our research center has developed and deployed a low-cost communication infrastructure, OceanNet, for marine fishermen using long range Wi-Fi for backhaul. In the current deployments, the transceiver on the fishing vessel is not enclosed and is therefore exposed to the atmospheric salinity. Even though the equipment is built to last under these harsh conditions, it is a worthwhile exercise to assess the impact of keeping it inside an enclosure. This work analyses the effect of placing the transceiver inside one cm thick PVC enclosure in terms of the additional path loss. The variation in path loss is measured using an experimental setup and is also studied using a path loss model. The results show that an additional 2 dB path loss is incurred due to the enclosure. Therefore, it is decided not to use an enclosure in our deployments for now.
