Air New Zealand uceba ukunikezela ngeintanethi yasimahla, enesantya esiphezulu kubahambi beKiwi kwiinqwelomoya ezikhethiweyo zasekhaya. Ukusebenzisana kunye ne-Starlink, umboneleli we-intanethi ye-satellite, bajolise ekuvavanyeni le nkonzo kwiinqwelomoya ezimbini, kuquka ijethi kunye ne-ATR, eqala ekupheleni kwe-2024. Eli nyathelo libonisa ukuqala kokufikelela kwi-intanethi kwinqwelomoya ye-turboprop, ukubeka umzekelo emoyeni. iteknoloji yokuhamba.
Ityala le Starlink intanethi kwinqwelomoya ekhethiweyo iya kuhlala iinyanga ezine ukuya kwezintandathu. Ukuba uphumelele, i-Air New Zealand iceba ukuphumeza le intanethi ye-intanethi ye-intanethi yesantya esiphezulu, ephantsi kwe-latency kwi-flight kuzo zonke iinqwelo zasekhaya eziseleyo ngo-2025.
I-intanethi ye-Starlink ye-intanethi iya kwenza abahambi bezoshishino baqhubeke nokusebenza ngexesha leenqwelomoya, ngelixa abakhenkethi bezolonwabo banokusasaza ii-podcasts kunye ne-Netflix ibonisa ngexesha lokwenyani endaweni yokukhuphela kwangaphambili. Nangona kunjalo, imimiselo yangoku evela kwiGunyabantu lezoPhapho loLuntu liya kuthintela ukufowuna ngexesha lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya.
I-Air New Zealand ngoku inamandla okuvala umxholo ochasayo kwinkonzo yabo ye-intanethi. Ukwazisa ukufikelela kwi-intanethi kwi-ATR kuya kuphawula impumelelo yobuvulindlela kwilizwe lezophapho.
Igosa eliyintloko ledijithali ye-Air NZ uNikhil Ravishankar uthe nangona ukufikelela kwi-intanethi kuya kufumaneka ukusuka esangweni ukuya esangweni, kuya kucinywa ngexesha lokuhamba kunye nokuhlalisa ukuthobela imimiselo ye-CAA. Ngaphandle kweembono ezinokubakho zokuba i-intanethi isenokungabalulekanga kwiinqwelomoya ezimfutshane zasekhaya, uRavishankar ukholelwa ukuba kukho imfuneko ebalulekileyo yale nkonzo.
Okwangoku, uvavanyo lwe-Starlink lunqunyelwe kwiinqwelomoya zasekhaya. Iijethi zamazwe ngamazwe zase-Air New Zealand zine-Wi-Fi, ngaphandle kweenqwelo-moya ezithile eziqeshiweyo, zisebenzisa i-geostationary satellites. IStarlink, kwelinye icala, isebenzisa iisathelayithi ze-LEO kufutshane noMhlaba, iqinisekisa imiqondiso ethembeke ngakumbi njengoko isoloko ikufuphi ngenxa yentshukumo yazo ephantsi komhlaba.
UJason Fritch, usekela mongameli we-Starlink kwi-SpaceX, uvakalise ukuzingca ngokusebenzisana ne-Air New Zealand ukwazisa i-intanethi ye-Starlink ekhawulezayo kwinqwelomoya yabo, ejonge ukwandisa olu tshintsho lwamava onxibelelwano kwinqwelomoya kubaphulaphuli behlabathi.
