Voice communication between <em>Okeanos Explorer</em> and shore-side ECC’s uses another technology borrowed from the broadcast industry, an IP-enabled intercom system. The intercom system leverages the <em>Okeanos Explorer</em>’s Internet connectivity to connect all of the ship-based and shore-based intercom units into a single system. This allows all participants, regardless of location, to easily communicate with all other participants. Here, scientists at the Seattle ECC communicate with participants on the ship and at the Jakarta ECC.
