Acoustic Communication
Acoustic communication is a method of transmitting data or information using sound waves, typically in the air or underwater. It involves encoding information into acoustic signals, transmitting them through a medium, and decoding them at the receiver. This technology is widely used in applications such as underwater communication, sonar systems, and acoustic sensors in IoT devices.
Developers should learn acoustic communication when working on projects involving underwater robotics, environmental monitoring, or IoT systems where radio frequency communication is impractical or restricted. It is essential for applications like marine research, underwater navigation, and acoustic-based localization in environments where electromagnetic waves do not propagate well, such as in water or dense materials.
