SYSTEM FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MARINE VESSELS AND AIRCRAFT, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM ON MARINE VESSELS THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A system for wireless communication between marine vessels and aircraft, comprising:
- a plurality of first offshore wireless network apparatuses being separately provided on different first marine vessels, each of the first offshore wireless network apparatuses comprising a sea-to-air communication device and a wireless communication device;
the sea-to-air communication device being oriented toward the sky for transmitting and receiving wireless signals;
the wireless communication device being linked with the sea-to-air communication device and wirelessly linked with at least one ground wireless network apparatus, and then linked with a ground network system via the ground wireless network apparatus; and
an aircraft network apparatus being provided on an aircraft to link with at least one Internet access device on the aircraft;
the aircraft network apparatus being oriented toward the sea for transmitting wireless signals, and wireless signal transmission and receiving between the Internet access devices and the first offshore wireless network apparatuses being achieved via the aircraft network apparatus.

Abstract
A system for wireless communication between marine vessels and aircraft comprises a plurality of first offshore wireless network apparatuses provided on different first marine vessels, and an aircraft network apparatus provided on an aircraft. The first offshore wireless network apparatuses are not only wirelessly linked with one another to form a network at sea, but also wirelessly linked with a ground wireless network apparatus, and are oriented toward the sky to transmit and receive wireless signals. The aircraft network apparatus are oriented toward the sea for transmitting wireless signals. Therefore, wireless signal transmission and receiving between Internet access devices provided on the aircraft and the ground wireless network apparatus can be achieved via the aircraft network apparatus and the first offshore wireless network apparatuses, enabling the Internet access devices on the aircraft to link with a ground network system via the ground wireless network apparatus.
