In this paper, we report on an evaluation of the Marine Broadband Framework that was implemented in 2008, as well as a real-time aquatic resources evaluation system that uses the Marine Broadband Framework. The Marine Broadband Framework is a wireless LAN environment with xDSL equivalent transmission speeds that can be used over a range of approximately 20 km from the coastline, which is the main operating environment for small fishing vessels. As a result of the progress in semiconductor technology in recent years, the nautical instruments and operational measurement devices installed on small fishing vessels now have advanced features and high precision. However, there are no means to proactively share and reuse the information acquired by these devices, primarily because a network environment that can be easily used in costal sea areas is not available. To address this issue, we developed a remote LAN condition utilizing an IEEE 802.11j particular remote LAN framework that can be utilized from little angling vessels in seaside ocean territories to unreservedly get to the Internet. We assessed the proposed Marine Broadband Framework by building a system of sensors that naturally measure the flag quality and real throughput of the remote LAN. Therefore, we affirmed a steady throughput of more than 10 Mbps inside a scope of 3 km, and more than 8 Mbps inside a scope of 5 km. Additionally, we affirmed that by utilizing the Marine Broadband Framework, pictures from the fish-discoverer introduced on little angling vessels could be transmitted continuously. In 2009, we introduced portable terminals on little angling vessels for contributing operational records, and we are as of now attempting to build up a continuous sea-going assets assessment framework that gathers operational records alongside situating data from the GPS.
