Faster Internet to the middle of the ocean

Increasingly the people are dependents of technology, and it is dependent of internet to provide a bigger variety of devices to user. Even when the people are in middle of the ocean  enjoy a cruise with their family or friends, someone or big part always have the necessity to continue connected, so as to communicate with who is on shore as share in social media the good moments which they are living.  In the past, passengers had access to spotty satellite-based internet, but it was not enough, so a company called Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) resolved to invest in a new technology to improve user’s life. Carnival says that the new technology will provide more comfort to their users who will can enjoy a faster and smoother connection. The technical challenge is similar to the used in the airline industry, because the problem is similar, both there is no infrastructure, because  one is moving in the middle of the ocean and the other in the heights, so are too difficult to create something to attend these situations and with good services, so the responsable people need to be creatives, because the challenge is even greater. The idea of the project is works by toggling between port-based Wi-fi, satelite Internet, and long-range Wi-fi that uses land-based antennas to establish connection when the ship is in a especific distance of shore. The result is a connection speed 10 times faster than the service offered today. In short, the necessity for connection in the modern world does new things to be created for users know all about what is happening, independent where they are.
