Abstract: In this paper we present a novel architecture for enabling on-line communication with marine environment monitoring deployments. We rely on a set of communication technologies that range from IoT related low data rate communication standards to the widely adopted Wi-Fi and LTE protocols that are able to support bandwidth demanding applications. To achieve energy-efficient results we turn off all the power-hungry interfaces and peripherals, while maintaining a low-power interface active, dedicated to control the rest of the components. Finally, we present the installation of the developed system in the Vida oceanographic buoy, in Slovenia and evaluate our device in terms of power consumption.
