NgoMashi 28, i-OneWeb, umhlinzeki we-inthanethi wesathelayithi emhlabeni jikelele, Isikhundla sayo sintekenteke ngenxa yomqedazwe we-coronavirus, inkinga yezomnotho eyalandela, kanye nokuncintisana okuqinile okuvela e-Amazon kanye ne-SpaceX. Ngaphezu kwalokho, le nkampani yenqatshelwe amaza okusebenza adingekayo eRussia, njengoba abezobunhloli bezwe benqaba.
Ekuqaleni konyaka, umhlinzeki bekufanele athole enye imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili zamaRandi kumtshali-zimali wakhe, iSoftBank, kodwa ubhubhane lwaphazamisa izinhlelo. Izingxoxo zabhidlika ngoMashi 21, amahora ambalwa ngaphambi kokwethulwa ngempumelelo kwamasathelayithi e-OneWeb angama-34 ku-orbit. Inkampani yaphoqeleka ukuthi ifake isicelo sokuvikelwa kokuqothuka kubabolekisi. Imithombo yezindaba yaqala ukushicilela izindatshana mayelana nekusasa le-inthanethi yesathelayithi, kodwa kubonakala sengathi izinto azimbi kangako. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, e-UK Futhi lezi akuzona nje izitatimende—isivumelwano esihambisanayo sisayiniwe.
Lo mbhalo usayinwe nguNdunankulu waseBrithani u-Boris Johnson kanye noShansela we-Exchequer uRishi Sunak. Leli yithuba elihle lokuthi i-UK izitholele eyayo uhlelo lokuzulazula. Ngemva kokushiya i-European Union, izwe lalahlekelwa ukufinyelela kumasathelayithi e-Galileo, ngakho uhulumeni manje usefuna ezinye izindlela. Ekuqaleni, uhlelo bekuwukwakha olwalo uhlelo kusukela ekuqaleni, kodwa le phrojekthi yabonakala ingenakufinyeleleka ngisho nasezweni elithuthukile njenge-UK. I-OneWeb ngaphambilini yamemezela ukuthi ngeke ihlinzeke ngezinsizakalo zokuxhumana kuphela kodwa futhi nezinsizakalo ze-GPS ngezinjongo zomphakathi nezempi.
Naphezu kwezinqubo zokuqolwa, ngokusobala inkampani yayingenanhloso yokumisa ukusebenza. NgoMeyi 28, yafaka isicelo ku-US Federal Communications Commission yokwandisa umlaza wesathelayithi wayo isuke ku-720 iye ku-48. Ngokusho kwabamele inkampani, lesi sinyathelo sizonikeza isevisi yekhwalithi ephezulu kubo bonke abasebenzisi be-intanethi ye-satellite.
"I-OneWeb yakha inethiwekhi yezokuxhumana emhlabeni wonke ngempela ukuze ilethe i-broadband enesivinini esikhulu, ene-latency ephansi emhlabeni wonke. Isimo sethu samanje siwumphumela womthelela wezomnotho wenhlekelele ye-COVID-19," .
Ku-OneWeb, ukusebenzisana nokubambisana nohulumeni waseBrithani kuyithuba lokugwema ukuqothuka. Izimpahla zenkampani zinentshisekelo enkulu ezinkampanini eziningi—ngokwesibonelo, i-Cerberus Capital Management, i-Amazon, i-Eutelsat, ne-SpaceX ngaphambilini zithumele amabhidi ukuze zithengwe.
Mayelana nokusebenza kwe-OneWeb, inkampani ihlela ukusebenzisana nezinkampani ezinkulu zokuxhumana emhlabeni kunokuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zokuxhumana ngqo kubathengi. Uhlelo olokuba abahlinzeki be-inthanethi besathelayithi ukuze banikeze amakhasimende abo uxhumano lwe-OneWeb. I-inthanethi yesathelayithi ingaba wusizo kakhulu ezifundeni ezikude futhi okunzima ukufinyelela kuzo kanye nemikhumbi yasolwandle. Ngokusho kwabameleli benkampani, umuntu oyisebenzisayo angaba semotweni, endizeni enophephela emhlane, esiqongweni sentaba, nanoma yikuphi emhlabeni—ukuxhumana bekuyohlale kutholakala.
Amacebo okuqala e-OneWeb ayenesizotha impela: umlaza wesathelayithi wawuzoba namasathelayithi angama-588 kanye namadivayisi ambalwa ayisipele. Ukukhiqizwa kwesathelayithi eyodwa Amanye amasathelayithi aseyethuliwe futhi afinyelela kumjikelezo ayehlosiwe.
Ngaphezu kwe-OneWeb, i-SpaceX ka-Elon Musk, i-Amazon CEO uJeff Bezos's Project Kuiper, kanye nenkampani yaseCanada i-Telesat nabo bakha amaqoqo ezinkanyezi okuxhumana e-orbit. Amasathelayithi azosatshalaliswa emizileni ephansi ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukubambezeleka kwesignali okuncane kanye nesivinini esikhulu sokudlulisa idatha.
