Njengoko ilizwe liqhubeka nokuzamazamana nobhubhani we-COVID-19, abantu abaninzi basebenza besekhaya kunanini na ngaphambili.Ngolu tshintsho oluya kumsebenzi okude, kubekho ukwanda okubonakalayo kwimfuno yokufikelela kwi-intanethi ngesantya esiphezulu.
Ukuhlangabezana nale mfuno, ababoneleli ngenkonzo ye-intanethi (ISPs) baya beguqukela ngakumbi kwi-Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) iintambo zokuwisa ukubonelela ngokuthembekileyo, uqhagamshelo lwe-intanethi olukhawulezayo ngqo kumakhaya.Iintambo zokulahla ze-FTTH ziyilelwe ukudibanisa uthungelwano lwefayibha engundoqo kumakhaya ngabanye, ngokubonelela ngomgca ozinikeleyo wefayibha optic kwindawo yokuhlala nganye.
Ngokweengcali zeshishini, ukwamkelwa kweentambo ze-FTTH ziye zanda kakhulu kwiinyanga zamva nje, kunye nee-ISP ezininzi zenza utyalo-mali kakhulu kwitekhnoloji.Oku kungenxa yokwanda kwemfuno yokufikelela kwi-intanethi ngesantya esiphezulu njengoko abantu abaninzi besebenza ekhaya.
"Iintambo zokulahla ze-FTTH zibonelela ngesantya, ukuthembeka, kunye ne-bandwidth efunekayo ukuxhasa iimfuno zomsebenzi okude," utshilo uJohn Smith, isithethi se-ISP ehamba phambili."Njengoko abantu abaninzi besebenza ekhaya, sibona ukwanda okukhulu kwemfuno yeentambo ze-FTTH."
Iinzuzo zeIntambo ye-FTTH yokulahlas zicacile.Ngetekhnoloji yefiber optic, abasebenzisi banokonwabela ukukhuphela ngokukhawuleza kunye nesantya sokulayisha, i-latency esezantsi, kunye noqhagamshelo oluthembekileyo ngakumbi.Oku kubaluleke ngakumbi kubasebenzi abakude abaxhomekeke kwinkomfa yevidiyo, i-computing yefu, kunye nezinye izicelo ze-bandwidth-intensive ukwenza imisebenzi yabo.
Kodwa ngelixa ukwamkelwa kweentambo ze-FTTH zikhula, kusekho imingeni ekufuneka yoyiswe.Enye yeengxaki eziphambili yindleko yokufakela.Ukufakela iintambo zokulahla ze-FTTH kunokubiza kakhulu, ngakumbi kwiindawo apho kukho iziseko ezingundoqo ezilinganiselweyo.
Ngaphandle kwale mingeni, iingcali zeshishini zinethemba ngekamva leentambo zokuwisa ze-FTTH.Ngabantu abaninzi abasebenza ekhaya kunanini na ngaphambili, imfuno yokufikelela kwi-intanethi ngesantya esiphezulu iya kuqhubeka ikhula.Kwaye njengoko ii-ISPs ziqhubeka nokutyala imali kwitekhnoloji yefiber optic, sinokulindela ukubona ukwamkelwa okubanzi ngakumbi kweentambo zokuhla ze-FTTH kwiinyanga nakwiminyaka ezayo.
