IIT-BHU Develops Drone-Based System for Internet-Free Communication
IIT-BHU in Varanasi has created a way to share messages and images without the internet.
They use drones and special devices to send data over long distances, even where there's no internet or the signal is blocked.
The system is like a network in the sky, with drones flying to relay information.
It can work in tough places and is good for helping in emergencies, keeping borders safe, and helping with communications.
This new system doesn't need the internet or satellites.
It is low-cost, smart, and uses AI for better drone paths and encryption for security.
The project got help from TII-UAE, IDAPT-Hub Foundation at IIT (BHU), and SERB.
IIT-BHU developed a system for sharing data without internet.
The system uses drones to relay data over long distances.
It enables real-time sharing of images and text.
System is designed for areas without communication infrastructure.
The technology is scalable, low-cost, and intelligent.
