Yintsimbi yesi-7 kusasa ngemini epholileyo nenelanga yasebusika emaphandleni aseKoniko County, kwaye abasebenzi sele besebenza nzima.
Izitshizi zeVermeer ezimthubi oqaqambileyo zazikhazimla elangeni lasekuseni, zisika udongwe olubomvu ngokuthe chu ecaleni kombhobho wombane waseAlabama ngaphandle kwe-Evergreen. Iipayipi ezine ze-polyethylene ezinemibala eyi-1¼-intshi ubukhulu, ezenziwe nge-thermoplastic eqinileyo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, emnyama, eluhlaza, ne-orenji ye-polyethylene, kunye nomcu weteyipu yesilumkiso e-orenji zabekwa kakuhle njengoko zazihamba emhlabeni othambileyo. Iityhubhu zihamba kakuhle ukusuka kwiidrama ezinkulu ezine - enye yombala ngamnye. Ispool nganye inokuthwala ukuya kuthi ga kwiinyawo ezingama-5,000 okanye phantse imayile yepayipi.
Emva kwemizuzu embalwa, umgubhi walandela umngxuma, egquma umbhobho ngomhlaba waza wahambisa ibhakethi ngasemva nangasemva. Iqela leengcali, eliquka abakhi abakhethekileyo kunye nabaphathi bamandla baseAlabama, lijongene nale nkqubo, liqinisekisa ulawulo lomgangatho kunye nokhuseleko.
Emva kwemizuzu embalwa, kwalandela elinye iqela likwilori yokuthutha impahla exhotyiswe ngokukodwa. Ilungu leqela lihamba linqumla umsele ozele ngasemva, lisasaza ngononophelo imbewu yengca yasekuhlaleni. Lalandelwa yilori yokuthutha impahla exhotyiswe ngomatshini wokufutha ingca efafaza imbewu. Ingca ibamba imbewu endaweni yayo ide ikhule, ibuyisela indlela yayo kwimeko yayo yokuqala ngaphambi kokwakhiwa.
Malunga neekhilomitha ezili-10 ukuya entshona, emaphethelweni efama, elinye iqela lisebenza phantsi komtya ofanayo wombane, kodwa linomsebenzi owahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo. Apha umbhobho wawuza kudlula edamini lefama elingamahektare angama-30 malunga neenyawo ezingama-40 ubunzulu. Oku kunzulu malunga neenyawo ezingama-35 kunomsele ombiwe waza wagcwaliswa kufutshane ne-Evergreen.
Ngeli xesha, iqela lisebenzise isixhobo sokujika esibonakala ngathi yinto evela kwifilimu ye-steampunk. Isixhobo sokujika sineshelufu apho kukho "ichuck" yentsimbi enzima ebamba icandelo lombhobho wokujika. Umatshini ucinezela iintonga ezijikelezayo emhlabeni nganye nganye, esenza umngxuma oziimitha ezili-1,200 apho umbhobho uza kudlula khona. Nje ukuba umngxuma ugrunjwe, intonga iyasuswa kwaye umbhobho utsalwa ngaphesheya kwechibi ukuze ukwazi ukunxibelelana neekhilomitha zepayipi esele iphantsi kwemigca yombane emva kwesixhobo.
Iikhilomitha ezintlanu ukuya entshona, emaphethelweni entsimi yombona, iThird Crew yasebenzisa ikhuba elikhethekileyo eliqhotyoshelwe ngasemva kwe-bulldozer ukuze ibeke imibhobho eyongezelelweyo ecaleni komgca wombane ofanayo. Nantsi inkqubo ekhawulezayo, enomhlaba othambileyo, ohlakuliweyo kunye nomhlaba othe tyaba okwenza kube lula ukuqhubela phambili. Ikhuba lahamba ngokukhawuleza, lavula umsele omxinwa laza labeka umbhobho, kwaye abasebenzi bakhawuleza bagcwalisa izixhobo ezinzima.
Le yinxalenye yeprojekthi enkulu ye-Alabama Power yokubeka iteknoloji ye-fiber optic phantsi komhlaba kwiintambo zothumelo zenkampani - iprojekthi ethembisa izibonelelo ezininzi kungekuphela nje kubathengi benkampani yombane, kodwa nakwiindawo apho ifayibha ifakwe khona.
“Yindlela yokunxibelelana yomntu wonke,” utshilo uDavid Skoglund, ophethe iprojekthi ekumzantsi weAlabama equka ukubeka iintambo entshona ye-Evergreen idlula eMonroeville ukuya eJackson. Apho, iprojekthi ijika iye emazantsi kwaye ekugqibeleni iya kudibana nesityalo sase-Alabama Power sikaBarry eMobile County. Le nkqubo iqala ngoSeptemba 2021 ngomgama omalunga neekhilomitha ezili-120.
Xa imibhobho ikwindawo yayo kwaye igqunywe ngokukhuselekileyo, abasebenzi basebenzisa intambo yokwenyani ye-fiber optic kwenye yemibhobho emine. Ngokwenyani, intambo "iyavuthelwa" kumbhobho ngomoya ocinezelweyo kunye neparashuti encinci eqhotyoshelwe ngaphambili komgca. Kwimozulu entle, abasebenzi banokubeka iikhilomitha ezi-5 zentambo.
Ii-conduit ezintathu eziseleyo ziya kuhlala zikhululekile okwangoku, kodwa iintambo zinokongezwa ngokukhawuleza ukuba kufuneka umthamo wefayibha eyongezelelweyo. Ukufaka iitshaneli ngoku yeyona ndlela isebenzayo nengabizi kakhulu yokulungiselela ikamva xa kufuneka utshintshise idatha eninzi ngokukhawuleza.
Iinkokheli zikarhulumente ziya zigxila ngakumbi ekwandiseni i-broadband kulo lonke ilizwe, ingakumbi kwiindawo zasemaphandleni. URhuluneli uKay Ivey ubize iseshoni ekhethekileyo yendlu yowiso-mthetho yaseAlabama kule veki apho kulindeleke ukuba abenzi bomthetho basebenzise inxalenye yemali yobhubhane karhulumente ukwandisa i-broadband.
Inethiwekhi ye-fiber optic ye-Alabama Power iya kunceda inkampani kunye noluntu oluvela kwi-Alabama NewsCenter kwiVimeo.
Ukwandiswa nokutshintshwa kwenethiwekhi ye-fiber optic ye-Alabama Power kwaqala ngeminyaka yoo-1980 kwaye kuphucula ukuthembeka kunye nokuqina kwenethiwekhi ngeendlela ezininzi. Le teknoloji izisa amandla onxibelelwano asemgangathweni kwinethiwekhi, ivumela izitishi ezincinci ukuba zinxibelelane. Olu phawu luvumela iinkampani ukuba zisebenzise izicwangciso zokhuseleko eziphambili ezinciphisa inani labathengi abachaphazeleka kukucima kunye nobude bokucima. Ezi ntambo zifanayo zibonelela ngomthombo wonxibelelwano othembekileyo nokhuselekileyo kwizibonelelo zombane zase-Alabama ezifana neeofisi, amaziko olawulo kunye nezityalo zombane kulo lonke indawo yenkonzo.
Amandla efayibha ye-bandwidth ephezulu aphucula ukhuseleko lweendawo ezikude kusetyenziswa ubuchwepheshe obufana nevidiyo ye-high-definition. Ikwavumela iinkampani ukuba zandise iinkqubo zolondolozo lwezixhobo zesitishi esingaphantsi komhlaba ngokusekelwe kwimeko-enye inzuzo yokuthembeka kwenkqubo kunye nokuqina kwayo.
Ngobu budlelwane, olu lwakhiwo lwefayibha oluphuculweyo lunokusebenza njengomqolo wonxibelelwano oluphambili kuluntu, lubonelela nge-bandwidth yefayibha efunekayo kwezinye iinkonzo, ezinje ngokufikelela kwi-intanethi ekhawulezayo, kwiindawo zelizwe apho ifayibha ingafumaneki khona.
Kwinani elikhulayo leendawo, i-Alabama Power isebenzisana nababoneleli basekuhlaleni kunye namashishini ombane asemaphandleni ukunceda ekuphuhliseni iinkonzo ze-broadband ezikhawulezayo kunye ne-intanethi ezibalulekileyo kuphuhliso lweshishini noqoqosho, imfundo, ukhuseleko loluntu kunye nempilo, kunye nomgangatho wombane.
“Sichulumancile ngamathuba olu nxibelelwano lwe-fiber olunokuwabonelela abemi basemaphandleni kunye nabemi basezidolophini abaninzi,” utshilo uGeorge Stegal, uMphathi weQela le-Alabama Power Connectivity.
Enyanisweni, malunga neyure ukusuka kwi-Interstate 65, embindini wedolophu yaseMontgomery, elinye iqela libeka i-fiber njengenxalenye ye-high speed loop eyakhiwayo ejikeleze ikomkhulu. Njengakwiindawo ezininzi zasemaphandleni, i-fiber optic loop iya kubonelela imisebenzi ye-Alabama Power ngeziseko zonxibelelwano olukhawulezayo kunye nohlalutyo lwedatha, kunye nonxibelelwano lwe-broadband olunokwenzeka kwixesha elizayo kulo mmandla.
Kwindawo yasezidolophini efana neMontgomery, ukufaka i-fiber optics kuza neminye imingeni. Umzekelo, i-fiber kwezinye iindawo kufuneka ihanjiswe kwiindlela ezimxinwa kunye neendlela ezihamba abantu abaninzi. Kukho izitalato ezininzi kunye neendlela zoololiwe ekufuneka ziwele. Ukongeza, kufuneka kuthathwe unonophelo olukhulu xa kufakwa kufutshane nezinye iziseko zophuhliso ezingaphantsi komhlaba, ukusuka kwiindlela zamanzi amdaka, iintambo zamanzi kunye negesi ukuya kwiintambo zamandla ezingaphantsi komhlaba ezikhoyo, iintambo zefowuni kunye neentambo. Kwezinye iindawo, umhlaba uvelisa imingeni eyongezelelweyo: kwiindawo zasentshona nasempuma yeAlabama, umzekelo, imiwonyo enzulu kunye neenduli ezinde zithetha ukuba kukho imisele eyombiweyo ukuya kuthi ga kwiinyawo ezili-100 ubunzulu.
Nangona kunjalo, ukufakelwa kwezixhobo kulo lonke ilizwe kuya phambili ngokuthe chu, nto leyo eyenza isithembiso sase-Alabama sothungelwano lonxibelelwano olukhawulezayo noluzinzileyo sibe yinyani.
“Ndonwabile ukuba yinxalenye yale projekthi kwaye ndincede ekuboneleleni ngonxibelelwano olukhawulezayo kwezi ndawo,” utshilo uSkoglund njengoko wayejonge umbhobho odlula emasimini ombona angenanto entshona ye-Evergreen. Umsebenzi apha wenzelwe ukuba ungaphazamisi isivuno sasekwindla okanye ukutyala kwentwasahlobo.
“Oku kubalulekile kwezi dolophu zincinci nakubantu abahlala apha,” wongeze watsho uSkoglund. “Oku kubalulekile kwilizwe. Ndiyavuya ukudlala indima encinci ekwenzeni oku kwenzeke.”
