All communications with the shore are made possible by the <em>Okeanos Explorer</em>’s powerful satellite antenna. This antenna enables the <em>Okeanos Explorer</em> to establish high-bandwidth connectivity from remote parts of the world. This high-bandwidth connection allows the <em>Okeanos Explorer</em> to transmit three high-definition video feeds and establish real-time voice communication with the shore-based consoles and provides basic Internet connectivity for the ship’s personnel.
