Abstract

The present invention relates to a system that provides underwater data transfer between two remote client systems via an underwater cabled network operable. The cabled network includes at least two data access points each having an access point electromagnetic transceiver; and each remote client system comprising a client electromagnetic transceiver. Each data access point is operable to transfer data between said cabled network and one of said client electromagnetic transceivers via one of inductive magnetic and electromagnetic signals carried through the water.
