I-FAA iphoqa i-Verizon ne-AT&T ukuthi imise ukukhishwa okugcwele kwe-5G

• Ukukhishwa okuhleliwe kwango-December 5 kumafrikhwensi e-C-band kuzobambezeleka kuze kube okungenani uJanuwari 5.
• I-Verizon kanye ne-AT&T banethemba lokusebenzisana ne-FAA ukuze kubhekwane nokukhathazeka kwayo mayelana nokuphazamiseka okungaba khona kwemishini yokuphepha ye-cockpit.
• Ukuhamba ngendiza e-US sekuvele kunezinkinga muva nje, ngesifiso sangemva kobhubhane sokundiza sihlasela abasebenzi kanye nokushoda kwabashayeli bezindiza.

Verizon futhi AT & TUkukhishwa okuhleliwe kuka-December 5 okugcwele kwe-5G, okunikeza “ijubane elihle ukuya kwelikhulu” phakathi nobubanzi obumaphakathi be-spectrum yomsakazo, kubambezelekile ngemuva FAA uxwayise ngokuthi ukunwetshwa okuthile komkhawulokudonsa kuzophazamisa kakhulu amabhendi asetshenziselwa ukuhlinzeka ngokuphepha kwezindiza zezentengiselwano.

Ukukhishwa okugcwele kuwo wonke amafrikhwensi e-C-band kuzobambezeleka kuze kube okungenani uJanuwari 5, AT&T kanye Verizon kumenyezelwe.

Izinkampani zinethemba lokuthi zizosebenzisana ne I-Federal Aviation Administration ukubhekana nokukhathazeka kwayo mayelana nokuphazamiseka okungaba khona kwempahla yokuphepha yendawo yabalindi esebenzisa ibhendi ye-C.

Ngenkathi izinkampani zikhiphe amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-70 ukuze zithole ukufinyelela ku-C-band endalini ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, imboni yezokundiza ikuphikile ukusetshenziswa kwayo, ithi “kungalindeleka ukuphazamiseka okukhulu ekusebenziseni i-National Airspace System” uma kwenzeka abahlinzeki bathola ama-dibs kulowo mkhawulokudonsa we-5G yabo.

Izinkampani sezivele zinokuxhumeka kwe-5G okunesivinini esikhulu kumabhendi aphezulu, lapho zisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-millimeter-wave, kanye namaza aphansi we-band, ahamba kancane ngokuphawulekayo. Nakuba kungezona kuphela izinkampani ezimbili ezikhipha i-5G, izimbangi zabo i-T-Mobile isivele ithathe ingxenye enkulu ye-mid-band spectrum (okwamanje) engasebenzi ku-C-band.

Imboni yezindiza ngokusobala ibizama ukuthola ukunaka kwezinkampani zezingcingo isikhathi eside, njengoba ibambe umhlangano ngo-Agasti ne-Federal Communications Commission ukuze ixwayise ngokungqubuzana okuzayo phakathi kwalezi zindawo ezimbili. Ngaphandle kokuthi kwenziwe okuthile, baxwayise, 'ukuphazamiseka okukhulu' kungase kulindelwe, okuphoqelele FAA 'ukunciphisa kakhulu amandla okusebenza kwezindiza.'

Njengoba yehlulekile ukukholisa abanye ngokuphuthuma kwalolu daba, i-FAA ikhiphe 'isaziso solwazi olukhethekile' ekuqaleni kwaleli sonto echaza ukuphazamiseka okungaba khona kwe-5G nezingxenyekazi zekhompyutha zokuphepha kwendiza okuncike ekufinyeleleni ama-altimeters omsakazo. Kuze kube kuleli sonto, i-ejensi ibihlele ukukhipha igunya elisemthethweni elinciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezinhlelo ezizenzakalelayo, okuhlanganisa neyokusiza abashayeli bezindiza ukuthi bandize futhi bahlale esimweni sezulu esibi. Ukuvinjelwa kwakuklanyelwe ukuvimbela noma yikuphi ukuphazamiseka okuvela kumasignali we-5G angena ku-bandwidth yabo, njengoba opharetha be-5G kulindeleke ukuthi bakhiphe ubuchwepheshe babo ngoDisemba 5 ezimakethe ze-46.

Yize bevuma ukuthi akuzange kube nezinkinga 'zokuphazamisa okuyingozi' kwe-5G kwamanye amazwe, abashayeli bezindiza baxwayiswa ukuthi kumele 'balungele ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ukuphazamiseka kwama-transmitters e-5G nobunye ubuchwepheshe kungabangela ukuthi imishini ethile yokuphepha ingasebenzi kahle,' okuphakamisa ukuthi ukuphoqeleka ukuthi kulungiswe izinkinga 'kungathinta ukusebenza kwendiza.'

Iqembu labahwebi okungenantambo i-CTIA igcizelele ukuthi amanethiwekhi e-5G angasebenzisa ngokuphephile i-spectrum, ekhomba amazwe angu-40 lapho ayesebenza khona kanyekanye namakhompyutha okuphepha ezindiza.

Ukuhamba ngendiza yase-US sekuvele kunezinkinga muva nje, ngesifiso sangemva kobhubhane sokundiza sihlasela abasebenzi kanye nokushoda kwabashayeli bezindiza. Lokhu kushoda kuye kwabhebhethekiswa ukunwetshwa kwegunya lokugoma ezweni lonke.
