Ngethamsanqa kuwe: Ukusukela ngoJanuwari 2017, iJetBlue yaba yinqwelomoya yokuqala ukubonelela ngesimahla, isantya esiphezulu seWi-Fi kuzo zonke iinqwelomoya. Ukutyikitywa kwe-Intanethi engenazingcingo ye-Fly-Fi ibonelela abagibeli ngokusuka ekuyeni kwisango lokufika- ke akufuneki ulinde kude kube ziimitha ezili-10-000 ukudibanisa.

Ukongeza kukhangelo lwewebhu, iFly-Fi ibonelela ngeemovie zasimahla kunye nomxholo osasaza kwiVidiyo yeAmazon, kunye nokufikelela kwiinkqubo zokuthumela imiyalezo. I-JetBlue yaqala yazisa i-Fly-Fi ngo-2013 ngenqwelomoya enye kwaye sele isandisile kuyo yonke iinqanawa.

Isebenza njani iJetBlue iWi-Fi

I-JetBlue iWi-Fi isebenza ngendlela efanayo noqhagamshelo lwakho lwe-Wi-Fi ekhaya okanye emsebenzini-ngaphandle kwamawaka eenyawo ngaphezulu komphezulu womhlaba ngelixa uhamba amakhulu eekhilomitha ngeyure. Ke ngelixa izixhobo zilingana ngokufanayo, iinqwelomoya zeJetBlue kufuneka zisebenze nzima ukudibanisa kunye nokugcina imiqondiso yenethiwekhi ngelixa zibhabha.

Idibeneyo: Ungayifumana njani iWi-Fi yasimahla kwihlabathi liphela

Ezinye iinethiwekhi zenethiwekhi zeWi-Fi zisebenza zisebenzisa inkqubo yomoya ukuya emhlabeni, apho i-eriyali emazantsi endiza inxibelelana neenqaba zeefowuni ezikhoyo emhlabeni. Le nkqubo yeendleko-kodwa ecothayo isebenza kwiinqwelomoya ezihamba ngaphezulu komhlaba, kodwa hayi amanzi.

Inkonzo ye-Wi-Fi esekwe kwi-band (eqanjwe emva kwesilayidi soluhlu lwe-microwave ye-electromagnetic spectrum, ebandakanya ukukhanya, amaza erediyo, kunye ne-X-ray) isebenzisa iisathelayithi endaweni yeenqaba zeefowuni kwaye zisebenza ngcono kwiindiza ezindiza uluhlu lwenqaba okanye ngaphezulu kwamanzi. I-eriyali ye-Ku-band ihleli ngaphezulu kwenqwelomoya, kwaye ihambisa isantya amaxesha amathathu ukuya amane ngokukhawuleza njenge-air-to-ground Wi-Fi. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba ngaphandle ii-eriyali ze-eriyali zenza ukutsala, zichaphazela ukusetyenziswa kwepetroli, zisenza ukuba iindleko zeWi-Fi zibize kakhulu kunenye indlela yomoya-ukuya emhlabeni.

I-JetBlue, nangona kunjalo, isebenzisa inkqubo ye-Wi-Fi entsha neyona ikhawulezayo efumaneka kwiinqwelomoya: Inkonzo ye-Ka-band. Njengenkonzo ye-Ku-band, iKa-band ikwabizwa ngegama kuluhlu lwee-frequency ze-microwave kwaye isebenzisa isathelayithi endaweni yetekhnoloji yomoya-ukuya emhlabeni.

Umthumeli werediyo we-Ka-band usebenzisa ii-watts ezingama-25 zamandla, uAlexis Madrigal, kwinqaku likaJuni 2017 kwi Inkqubo ye- IAtlantic , uyacacisa. Ifom yefowuni inokuba ne-1 okanye i-2 watts yamandla.

I-Ka-band ye-Wi-Fi ibonelela ngesantya ukuya kumaxesha asixhenxe ngokukhawuleza kune-air-to-ground Wi-Fi, kwaye iphindwe kabini ngokukhawuleza njengeKu-band. Umgca weNetflix phezulu: Lixesha lokusasaza.
