Dominic Landucci

He served as the Network Analyst at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Aquarius Reef Base, the world's only undersea research laboratory.

[4][5] To that end, Landucci assisted in the attachment of Orthogon Systems antennas onto an offshore buoy in heavy seas.

"[6] He instituted a "hoot and holler" voice system linking the habitat and the onshore Watch Desk, where safety instruments are monitored during Aquarius missions.

[4] In 2006, when Aquarius received the InfoWorld 100 award for innovative use of wireless solutions, Landucci commented, "By using OS-Gemini, we overcame tremendous challenges, such as rough seas, great distances and unpredictable weather, to deploy a reliable connection between our land base and the Aquarius laboratory at the bottom of the ocean.

[5] Landucci has used webcams inside and outside Aquarius to transmit live video and audio to classrooms around the United States.
