Abstract: Within this paper the use of Wi-Fi in air and underwater environment using the channels around the 2.4 GHz frequency range that have been standardized worldwide, is presented through simulation and experimental work. Using a bow-tie shaped antenna we study the actual signal strength between underwater and air conditions, while changing the distance between two devices, wirelessly connected with each other.
