Ngichithe iminyaka eyi-14 embonini yokuthuthukisa amasignali eseli, futhi uma kukhona into eyodwa engiyaziyo ngokuqinisekile, ukuthi amabha esignali aphelele owathatha kalula nsuku zonke awawona umlingo. Angumsebenzi wengxenye yobuchwepheshe abantu abaningi abangakaze bezwe ngawo:i-repeater yefayibha yedijithali. Yisona sizathu sokuthi ungathumela umyalezo egalaji lokupaka elingaphansi komhlaba, usakaze ividiyo enxanxatheleni yezitolo ezigcwele abantu, noma ushayele ucingo emgwaqweni osezintabeni ezikude—futhi izinkampani ezakha la madivayisi athembekile ziyinsika yokuxhumana kwamaselula emhlabeni jikelele. Sekuyisikhathi eside kakhulu, laba basunguli bezobuchwepheshe bebelokhu bengaziwa, bexazulula izinkinga zethu zesignali ezikhungathekisa kakhulu ngobunjiniyela obuqinile ngenkathi umhlaba udumisa abenzi bezingcingo kanye nabathwali benethiwekhi. Namuhla, ngivula ikhethini kulobu buchwepheshe obubalulekile, futhi ngichaza ukuthi kungani abaphindaphindi be-fiber yedijithali (kanye nemikhiqizo efana ne-Lintratek ebalawulayo) bengamaqhawe angadunyiswanga asigcina sonke sixhumene, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sikuphi.
Sonke siye lapho:isignali ebuthakathaka ezindaweni zasemakhayaokwenza izingcingo zinqamuke futhi ziphume, izingxoxo zangaphakathi ezigcwele ngokungaguquki, noma ukucima kogesi ngokuphelele emihubheni nasezindlini ezingaphansi komhlaba. Akukudala kangako, lokhu kwakuyinto evamile—futhi konke kwakungenxa yemikhawulo yabaphindaphindi be-analog, ubuchwepheshe besikole sakudala obabuyindlela eyodwa kuphela yokukhulisa isignali. Abaphindaphindi be-analog benza into eyodwa elula: bandisa yonke isignali yemvamisa yomsakazo abayithathayo, futhi yileyo inkinga. Abahlukanisi phakathi kwesignali yangempela yeselula nomsindo ovela kwezinye izinto zikagesi noma imvelo—ngakho bakhulisa i-static kanye nesignali. Njengoba noma yimuphi uchwepheshe osebenze nabo ezokutshela, bamane benza isignali embi ibe nomsindo omkhulu, hhayi kangcono. Abasebenzisi bakufingqe kahle:lapho ukhulisa kakhulu, kuba kubi kakhulu.
Kwabe sekufika ama-repeater e-fiber edijithali, futhi ashintsha yonke into—ikakhulukazi lapho imikhiqizo efana ne-Lintratek ihlanganisa ukucubungula isignali yedijithali nokudluliselwa kwe-fiber optic ukuze kulungiswe amaphutha e-analog repeater unomphela. Lokhu kwakungeyona intuthuko encane; kwakuwukucabanga kabusha okuphelele kokuthi ukukhulisa isignali kusebenza kanjani. Okokuqala, la ma-repeater asebenzisa ukucubungula isignali yedijithali (i-DSP) ukuguqula amasignali e-RF abuthakathaka abe idatha yedijithali ehlanzekile. Ngemuva kwalokho, ama-algorithms angokwezifiso ahlunga yonke ingcezu yomsindo, alawule inzuzo ngokunemba okuqondile, futhi aqede ukuphazamiseka—ukuze isignali ephuma kolunye uhlangothi ibeokumsulwa, akukho okuguquguqukayo, akukho ukuhlanekezela. Yingakho izingcingo zakho zangaphakathi zizwakala zicacile futhi ukusakazwa kwevidiyo yakho kungasakwazi ukubhafa: isignali ayinamandla nje kuphela, ihlanzekile kusukela ekuqaleni. Okushintsha umdlalo wesibili ukudluliswa kwe-fiber optic. Ngokungafani nezintambo zethusi zendabuko ezilahlekelwa amandla esignali ngebanga futhi zithole ukuphazamiseka kwe-electromagnetic, i-fiber optics ifana nomgwaqo omkhulu wezimpawu. Zine-bandwidth enkulu, azilahlekelwa cishe yisignali ngisho nangaphezu kwamakhilomitha okudluliselwa, futhi zishaya indiva ngisho nokuphazamiseka kwe-electromagnetic okunamandla kakhulu. Yilokhu okwenza i-long-ukumbozwa kwebanga ezindaweni ezinezintaba kanye nokumbozwa okujulile emihubheni kungenzeka—ama-fiber optic aphethe isignali yedijithali ehlanzekile lapho izintambo zethusi zingasoze zaya khona. Ndawonye, ukucubungula kwedijithali kanye nama-fiber optic kwaqeda inkathi yesignali "yokushaya noma ukuphuthelwa", futhi kwasinika inkululeko yangempela yesignali sonke esiyijabulelayo namuhla.
Uma ubuza noma yimuphi umthwali weselula ukuthi iyiphi ithuluzi labo abayisebenzisayo lokulungisa izindawo ezifile zesiginali, bazokutshela into efanayo: abaphindi be-fiber yedijithali. Ngikhulume nonjiniyela abaningi benethiwekhi kanye nabameleli be-carrier eminyakeni edlule, futhi bonke bayawancoma lawa madivayisi—futhi ngezizathu ezintathu ezinhle kakhulu, ngalinye lixazulula inkinga enkulu ekwakhiweni kwenethiwekhi yeselula. Ake siqale ngokuzivumelanisa nezimo okungenakuqhathaniswa. Umphindi we-fiber yedijithali akanandaba ukuthi usebenza endaweni ephakeme yasemadolobheni, indawo yokupaka engaphansi komhlaba evimba isiginali, ugwadule olukude, noma umhubhe omude. Okufanele ukwenze nje ukulungisa amapharamitha ambalwa—ukuzuza, amabhendi emvamisa, amandla okukhipha—futhi kuhambisana kahle nendawo. Ezindaweni zasemadolobheni, abaphindi be-fiber encane bagcwalisa izikhala zesignali ezakhiweni zamahhovisi nasezindaweni zokuthenga ngokunemba okuqondile.Ezintabeni zasemakhaya, uhlanganisa ama-repeater amaningi ndawonye(isethi esiyibiza ngokuthi i-cascading) ukumboza zonke izifunda ngamakhilomitha amaningi. Kuyikhava eyenziwe ngokwezifiso ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka okwenziwe ngokwezifiso, futhi isebenza yonke indawo.
Isizathu sesibili sokuba izinkampani zithanda lezi ziphindaphindo yizindleko nokusebenza kahle okungenakuqhathaniswa. Ake sibe yiqiniso: ukwakha isiteshi esisha se-macro kuyinto embi kakhulu. Kufanele uthenge umhlaba, wakhe ingqalasizinda, uvivinye futhi ulungise uhlelo—futhi yonke inqubo ithatha izinyanga futhi ibiza imali eningi. Isiteshi se-macro se-5G sodwa singabiza amashumi ezinkulungwane zamaRandi, ngaphambi kokuthi ucabangele ukwakhiwa kanye nomsebenzi. Iziphindaphindo ze-fiber yedijithali zishintsha lezo zibalo ngokuphelele. Zibiza ngaphezu kuka-60% ngaphansi kokwakha isiteshi esisha sesisekelo, azidingi ukulungiselela kwangaphambi kokwakhiwa, futhi zingafakwa futhi zisebenze ezinsukwini ezimbalwa nje. Udinga ukumbozwa kwesikhashana kwekhonsathi noma umdlalo wezemidlalo? Sebenzisa iziphindaphindo ezimbalwa, futhi usukulungele ukuhamba. Ingabe inhlekelele yemvelo ikhiphe imibhoshongo yeselula yendawo? Khipha iziphindaphindo ukuze ubuyisele ukuxhumana okuphuthumayo ngokushesha. Ukuze kugcwaliswe igebe lesiginali nsuku zonke noma ukwesekwa okuphuthumayo okuphuthumayo, la madivayisi aletha imiphumela ephezulu ngesikhathi esincane nemali—yincazelo yokuthi zisebenza kahle.
Okwesithathu, futhi mhlawumbe okubaluleke kakhulu, ama-repeater e-fiber edijithali avikela ikusasa lazo zonke izizukulwane zenethiwekhi. Kusukela ku-2G kuya ku-5G (futhi maduze nje ku-6G), lawa madivayisi asebenza nazo zonke izindinganiso zeselula ezikhona, futhi ahlangana kalula nenethiwekhi ekhona yenkampani. Ukuthuthukiswa kwenethiwekhi sekuvele kubiza kakhulu futhi kuthatha isikhathi kubathwali—akudingeki ukuthi bashintshe yonke i-booster yesiginali njalo lapho kuvela isizukulwane esisha sobuchwepheshe beselula. Ama-repeater e-fiber edijithali aqeda lelo khanda elibuhlungu: azivumelanisa nemvamisa nezindinganiso ezintsha, ngakho abathwali akudingeki bakhe kabusha ingqalasizinda yabo yokukhulisa isiginali kusukela ekuqaleni. Lokhu akuyona nje isici esimnandi ukuba naso; kusindisa impilo yabathwali abafuna ukuthuthukisa amanethiwekhi abo ngaphandle kokuchitha imali eningi.
Okwenza ama-repeater e-digital fiber abe akhethekile ngempela ukuthi awalungisi inkinga eyodwa yesignali—ayalungisakonkengabo. Ngibone la madivayisi eguqula ukuxhumana kuwo wonke amagumbi omhlaba, kusukela ezikhungweni zedolobha ezimatasa kakhulu kuya emadolobheni akude kakhulu asemakhaya, futhi akhona yonke indawo lapho udinga khona isignali ethembekile. Emadolobheni, yiwona sizathu sokuthi akudingeki ufune isignali esitolo esikhulu, esitimeleni, noma esakhiweni samahhovisi aphezulu. Siwabeka endaweni ehlelekile, sibeka amayunithi amancane kuzo zonke lezi zindawo ezivaliwe, ezivimba isignali ukuze sigcwalise yonke indawo efile ngesignali eqinile, ehlanzekile. Akusekho ukubamba ifoni yakho efasiteleni ukuze uthumele i-imeyili, akusekho ukubhafa lapho uzama ukukhokhela ikhofi ngefoni yakho—isignali eqhubekayo, yonke indawo ngaphakathi.
Ezindaweni ezikude, ama-repeater e-fiber edijithali enza into ebaluleke nakakhulu: ahlanganisa imayela lokugcina lokuxhumana. Emadolobheni asezintabeni, emiphakathini yasehlane, nasemadolobheni aseziqhingini lapho ukwakha isiteshi esikhulu sesisekelo kungenzeki noma kubiza kakhulu, la ma-repeater ashintsha umdlalo. Sisebenzisa izintambo ze-fiber optic kusukela embhoshongweni weseli oseduze kuya endaweni ephakeme—njengesiqongo sentaba noma isakhiwo eside—bese usebenzisa i-digital fiber repeater ukuze ukhulise leso siginali futhi umboze yonke indawoNgikhulumile nabantu basemakhaya kulezi zindawo ezikude abangitshela ukuthi manje sebengasakaza amavidiyo amafushane, baxoxe ngevidiyo nomndeni okude, futhi baqhube ngisho namabhizinisi amancane ku-inthanethi—izinto ezazingacatshangwa eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Lawa madivayisi awagcini nje ngokuletha isignali ezindaweni zasemakhaya; aletha umhlaba wedijithali, nawo wonke amathuba awo, ngqo eminyango yabantu.
Ngemva kweminyaka eyi-14 kule mboni, ngisamangazwa ukuthi ubuchwepheshe obubodwa bungaba nomthelela omkhulu kangaka ekuphileni kwethu kwansuku zonke. Ama-repeater e-fiber edijithali awanayo i-smartphone yakamuva noma ukuqashelwa komkhiqizo wenkampani enkulu, kodwa yiwona imbangela yokuthi amanethiwekhi ethu eselula asebenze kahle njengoba enza. Angabasunguli abathule abalungisa izinkinga zesignali okungekho muntu omunye ongakwenza, bagcwalise izikhala, futhi baqinisekise ukuthi sixhumene—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sisedolobheni elinabantu abaningi, entabeni ekude, noma endaweni yenhlekelele. Imikhiqizo efana ne-Lintratek ichithe iminyaka ithuthukisa lobu buchwepheshe, isungula izinto ezintsha kaninginingi ukuze yenze ama-repeater e-fiber edijithali abe athembekile, aguquguquke kakhudlwana, futhi asebenze kahle kakhudlwana—futhi afanelwe ukuqashelwa ngomsebenzi awenzayo.
Siphila ezweni lapho ukuxhumana kungeyona nje into elula; kuyisidingo. Futhi njengoba i-5G iqhubeka nokushintsha kanye nocwaningo lwe-6G luqhubekela phambili, ama-repeater e-digital fiber azoba abaluleke kakhulu. Azoba umgogodla wesizukulwane esilandelayo samanethiwekhi eselula, asigcine sixhumene kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bethu buthuthuka kangakanani.
