Today, it does far more than that: it is an enabler of applications. Seatooth technology, a through-water wireless communications system, is being opened up to commercial applications by WFS Technologies. The system, which has primarily been used in the offshore and defence sectors, could now be applied to smartphones and smart watches to create waterproof health devices. A new generation of smartwatches will also have built-in sensors that can monitor heart rate and oxygen levels as well as provide information on how much exercise people are doing.
