I-FCC inikeza ilayisense yokusebenza ku-Row 44 ye-Wi-Fi ye-inflight

Enqubeni engase ishise ukuncintisana komhlaba wonke ukunikeza i-Wi-Fi ezindizeni zabagibeli, uRow 44 ubike ngoLwesine ukuthi i-Federal Communications Commission iyinikeze ilayisense yokusebenza unomphela ukuze inikeze isevisi ye-Inthanethi ezindizeni.

Ilayisensi, uma ihlanganiswa nezivumelwano ezikhona ze-Row 44 nohulumeni waseMexico nowaseCanada, isho ukuthi inkampani izokwazi ukuhlinzeka ngesevisi ye-Wi-Fi esekelwe kusathelayithi kuyo yonke iNyakatho Melika. Inkampani iphinde yaveza ukuthi izohlinzeka ngensizakalo yayo kwezinye izimakethe zomhlaba.

"Esethu yisixazululo sokuqala esinikeza i-broadband yangempela kubagibeli bezindiza, ngaphakathi naphesheya kwezilwandle, ukuletha ulwazi olufana nesivinini se-inthanethi abasijabulela ekhaya nasemsebenzini," kusho i-CEO ye-Row 44 uJohn Guidon, esitatimendeni.
URow 44, isevisi yayo ehlolwe yi-Alaska Airlines kanye ne-Southwest Airlines, isekelwa i-Hughes Network Systems, ubuchwepheshe bayo besathelayithi ye-broadband bufinyelela izimakethe eziningi zomhlaba.

Isevisi eqhudelanayo endizeni ehlinzekwa yi-AirCell e-United States inesiqalo ku-Row 44. Isevisi ye-inthanethi ye-Gogo Inflight ye-Aircell isivele ifakiwe izinkampani zezindiza ezimbalwa zase-US. Ngenyanga edlule, i-AirTran ithe zonke izindiza zayo eziyi-136 sezifakwe isevisi yeGogo. Ezinye izindiza ezifaka isevisi ye-Aircell zihlanganisa i-American Airlines, i-Delta Air Lines, ne-Virgin America. I-Aircell isebenzisa ama-antenna aphansi ngomsebenzi wayo.

Ukugunyazwa kwe-FCC kuthathe isikhathi eside kunalokho obekulindelekile ku-Row 44, kodwa u-Guidon uthe, “Sikholelwa ukuthi ozakwethu bezindiza zaseNyakatho Melika kanye nabagibeli babo bazothola le sevisi yangaphakathi kwendiza ikufanele ukulinda.”

Iphawula ukuthi i-FCC isavimbela izingcingo ezindizeni ezindizeni zasekhaya zase-US, uRow 44 uthe ihlose ukunikeza amakhasimende ayo ezinkampani zezindiza emhlabeni wonke umakhalekhukhwini ezindaweni lapho kuvunyelwe khona. E-Europe, isibonelo, izingcingo zomakhalekhukhwini ezindizeni zivunyelwe izinhlangano ezilawulayo. Umhlinzeki we-OnAir wase-Europe, isibonelo, unikeza amandla okushaya ngezwi kanye nokuntweza nge-inthanethi ezindizeni zase-Europe.

Omunye oqhudelana naye yiPanasonic Avionics, ehlinzeka ngezingcingo ezindizeni kanye nesevisi ye-Wi-Fi kwezinye izimakethe zomhlaba.

Umzamo wangaphambilini wokuletha i-Wi-Fi endizeni yophiko lwe-Boeing's Connexion awuphumelelanga futhi wavalwa ngemva kokulahlekelwa ngamakhulu ezigidi zamaRandi. Kodwa-ke, ama-antenna e-Connexion asatholakala endizeni ethile, okuhlanganisa nezindiza zaseJalimane i-Lufthansa, futhi angase asetshenziselwe isevisi yesikhathi esizayo esekelwe isathelayithi endizeni.
