- I-Project Taara isebenzisa imishayo yokukhanya ukuze idlulise idatha ngaphandle kwamakhebuli.
- Ihlinzeka ngesivinini esingafika ku-20 Gbps ebangeni elingafika ku-20 km.
- Ihlolwe e-India, Kenya naseRepublic of Congo ngempumelelo.
- Iveza izinselele ezifana nokudinga indlela ecacile yokubona kanye nokuphazamiseka kwesimo sezulu okungaba khona.
Emhlabeni lapho ukuxhumana kwe-inthanethi kubalulekile, i-Google iyaqhubeka nokuhlola izindlela ezintsha zokuletha ukufinyelela kubantu abaningi. Enye yentuthuko yayo yakamuva, Iphrojekthi yeTaara, ifuna ukunikeza ukufinyelela kwe-inthanethi ezindaweni lapho i-fiber optics okunzima ukuyisebenzisa noma kubiza kakhulu. Lolu hlelo olusha isebenzisa imisebe yokukhanya ukuze idlulise idatha, enikeza enye indlela ephumelelayo yezixazululo zendabuko.
I-Project Taara yazalwa njengenye ye Iphrojekthi iLoonIsinyathelo esikhanseliwe se-alfabhethi ebesifuna ukuletha i-inthanethi ngamabhaluni omoya oshisayo. Ngokusekelwe kulokhu okwenziwayo, ithimba le-Google X, i-Alphabet's innovation division, lenze uhlelo lwe ukuxhumana optical wireless ekwazi ukudlulisa idatha ngesivinini esiqhathaniswa nefiber optics ngaphandle kwesidingo sezintambo. Kulabo abazibuza ukuthi kungani kusetshenziswa ukudluliswa kokukhanya, iphrojekthi ye-Taara iyisibonelo esisebenzayo salobu buchwepheshe.
Isebenza kanjani i-Project Taara
Inhliziyo yeProject Taara ilele kubuchwepheshe be isikhala khulula ukuxhumana optical (FSOC). Ngokuvamile, zisetshenziswa imisebe yokukhanya ukudlulisa ulwazi kusuka kwelinye iphuzu kuya kwelinye, okufana nokusebenza kwe- i-fiber ebonakalayo kodwa ngaphandle kwezintambo ezibonakalayo.
Lolu hlelo lusebenza nayo imishini yokudlulisa nokwamukela okufanele iqondaniswe ngokunembile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukudluliswa kwedatha. I isignali yokukhanya Inembile ngokwanele ukushaya ithagethi encane njengamasentimitha angu-5 ebangeni elingafika kumakhilomitha angu-10.
Enye yezinselelo ezinkulu zalolu hlelo yisidingo sokuthi a umugqa wokubona ocacile phakathi kwamaphoyinti okudlulisela nokwamukela, kusukela kunoma yikuphi isithiyo ingase iphazamise isignali. Ukuze uxazulule lokhu, amadivayisi we-Taara angakwazi ukulungisa ngokuzenzakalelayo izibuko zawo namalensi ukuze agcine uxhumano oluzinzile. Lesi yisici esibalulekile okufanele sicatshangelwe lapho kusungulwa i- uhlobo lokuxhumeka kwe-inthanethi ezindaweni zasemakhaya noma ezindaweni lapho ingqalasizinda inomkhawulo.
Isivinini kanye nokufinyelela kobuchwepheshe
Ngokusho kwedatha evela ku-Alphabet, i-Project Taara ibonise ekuhlolweni kokuqala ukudluliswa kwe kufika ku-700 terabytes wedatha ezinsukwini ezingu-20 ngaphansi kwezimo zangempela, nge Ukutholakala okungu-99,9%. Lokhu kusho ukuthi, nakuba ingashintshi ngokuphelele i-fiber optics, inikeza enye indlela esebenzayo ezindaweni lapho ukufakwa kwayo kungenzeki khona.
Amamodeli okuqala e-Taara avumele ukuhanjiswa okufika ku 10 Gbps ebangeni elingu-1 km, kuyilapho izinguqulo ezintsha sezifinyelele izivinini ze 20 Gbps ebangeni elingafika ku-20 km. Lokhu kusebenza kwenza kube inketho ethokozisayo yokuxhuma izifunda zasemadolobheni nezasemaphandleni ngaphandle kwengqalasizinda yefiber.
Izinhlelo zokusebenza zangempela
I-Project Taara isivele ihloliwe ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene zomhlaba. Ku IRiphabhulikhi yaseCongo, yenza kube lula ukuxhumana phakathi kweBrazzaville neKinshasa, amadolobha amabili ahlukaniswe uMfula iCongo, lapho ukufaka i-optical fiber bekuyodinga uhambo lwamakhilomitha angama-400. Izixazululo ezinjalo zingasiza nakwezinye izindawo lapho ukufinyelela ku-inthanethi kuyinkinga.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ihlolwe ku I-India neKenya, lapho ukuhlinzeka nge-inthanethi ngezindlela ezivamile kuyinselele. Ukuhlola kubonise ukuthi lesi sixazululo singaba a okunye okuthembekile yokuxhumana ku izifunda ezikude. Lesi sici sibaluleke kakhulu esimweni samanje, lapho kufunwa khona izindlela ezintsha zokuthuthukisa ukuxhumana komhlaba wonke.
Izinzuzo nezinselele
Phakathi kwezinzuzo eziphambili zeProjekthi Taara yilezi:
- Izindleko zokuqalisa eziphansi uma kuqhathaniswa nefiber optical.
- Ukufinyeleleka ezindaweni ezikude lapho obunye ubuchwepheshe bungafinyeleli khona.
- Ijubane lifinyelela ku-20 Gbps, okwanele ukusakaza nezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ezidingeka kakhulu.
Nokho, lolu hlelo luphinde luveze ezinye izinselele:
- Kudinga umugqa ocacile wokubona phakathi kwamadivayisi.
- I izimo zezulu njengoba imvula noma inkungu ingathinta isignali.
- Su ububanzi bamanje kunqunyelwe ku amashumi amakhilomitha, okwenza kube nzima ukusebenzisa ezindaweni ezinkulu kakhulu.
Nakuba lobu buchwepheshe busathuthuka, amandla abo makhulu kakhulu. Izinhlamvu zamagama ziyaqhubeka nokuthuthukisa isistimu ukuthuthukisa ukuzinza nokwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwayo emhlabeni jikelele. Ukuqamba okusha ngemuva kwe-Project Taara kumele esinye isinyathelo esiya ekusaseni lapho ukuxhumana kufinyeleleka kalula futhi kufinyeleleke kalula emhlabeni jikelele.
Ngenxa yentuthuko ku ukuxhumana optical wireless, izigidi zabantu zingazuza ku-inthanethi ngaphandle kwesidingo sengqalasizinda ebizayo enezintambo.
Ngingumshisekeli wezobuchwepheshe oguqule izintshisekelo zakhe "ze-geek" zaba umsebenzi. Ngichithe iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-10 yempilo yami ngisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu kanye nokukitaza ngazo zonke izinhlobo zezinhlelo ngenxa yelukuluku lokufuna ukwazi. Manje sengiqeqeshelwe ubuchwepheshe be-computer nemidlalo yama-video. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi sekuphele iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-5 ngisebenza ngokubhalela amawebhusayithi ahlukahlukene ezobuchwepheshe nemidlalo yevidiyo, ngenza izindatshana ezifuna ukukunikeza imininingwane oyidingayo ngolimi oluqondakala yiwo wonke umuntu.
Uma unemibuzo, ulwazi lwami lusukela kuyo yonke into ehlobene nesistimu yokusebenza ye-Windows kanye ne-Android yomakhalekhukhwini. Futhi ukuzibophezela kwami kuwe, ngihlala ngizimisele ukuchitha amaminithi ambalwa futhi ngikusize uxazulule noma yimiphi imibuzo ongase ube nayo kulo mhlaba we-inthanethi.
