Inkonzo ye-Intanethi esemoyeni iyacotha ukusuka

Iinqwelomoya ezininzi zase-US, kuquka i-Delta Air Lines Inc., i-Virgin America, i-AMR Corp.'s American Airlines, i-Southwest Airlines Co., i-Alaska Air Group Inc. kunye ne-UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, zikhupha ubuchwepheshe ukuzisa inkonzo ye-intanethi engenazingcingo. ukuya kumakhulu eenqwelomoya - intshukumo ethembisa ukuvumela abakhweli ukufikelela ngokuqhubekayo kwiWebhu kunye ne-imeyile ngelixa bebhabha. Iinkonzo ze-nascent zinomtsalane ngakumbi kubahambi abakwiklasi yeshishini abangakwaziyo ukumelana negridi ye-imeyile nokuba yiyure okanye ezimbini xa ubhabha.

Nawuphi na umthwali omisela intloko enkulu phezu kwabakhuphisana naye unokuba nethuba edabini lokutsala aba bakhweli babawayo. Iinkampani zeenqwelo moya zinethemba lokuba ingeniso evela kwimirhumo yokufikelela kwi-Intanethi iya kuhlawulela iindleko zofakelo, malunga ne-100,000 yeedola ngenqwelomoya nganye ngeyona nkonzo isetyenziswa kakhulu, kwaye yongeze kwimingeni yabo ephantsi ecela umngeni.

Owona mceli mngeni mkhulu kwiiflaya kukufumana inqwelomoya eneneni enika ufikelelo lweWi-Fi kwaphela. Ngelixa iinqwelomoya ezimbalwa ziqala ukufikelela kwi-Wi-Fi yezemidlalo, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, akukho mphathiswa mkhulu owakhe inzuzo. Akukho nanye kwiinqwelomoya ezinkulu ezinokuthembisa ukuba zeziphi iinqwelomoya ezinikezela ngenkonzo. Oko kuthetha ukuba kuya kuthatha ixesha ngaphambi kokuba uninzi lwabakhweli benqwelomoya baxelele iofisi yasekhaya ukuba bazokwazi ukuqhubeka nokusebenza emoyeni.

I-Virgin America, umthwali wesaphulelo osakhulayo owasekwa nguSir Richard Branson, uhamba ngokukhawuleza ngaphandle kwesango le-Wi-Fi, kunye nezicwangciso zokuba zonke iinqwelomoya ze-28 zifakwe ekupheleni kukaMeyi. Kwizithuthi ezinkulu ezineenqwelomoya ezinkulu, kuya kuthatha iminyaka ukunxiba zonke iinqwelomoya. I-Delta, kunyaka ophelileyo yathi iya kuba yeyokuqala kwiinqwelomoya ezinkulu ukuxhobisa zonke iinqanawa zayo zasekhaya ngenkonzo, ine-Wi-Fi malunga neenqwelomoya ezili-130 ngoku kwaye ayizukugqiba ukuxhobisa zonke ezingama-500 kude kube sekupheleni konyaka olandelayo. I-American Airlines iceba ukuba ne-150 yeenqwelomoya zayo ezimalunga nama-600 i-Wi-Fi isebenze ekupheleni konyaka.

Iinqwelomoya ezinkulu zithi azinakuqinisekisa ukuba zeziphi iinqwelomoya eziza kubonisa inkonzo kuba iinqwelomoya kunye neeshedyuli zihanjiswa rhoqo. Isithethi saseMelika uTim Smith uthi: "Inkonzo kuya kufuneka isasazeke kwiinqanawa" ngaphambi kokuba inqwelomoya ithembise abakhweli kuhambo oluthile.

I-Delta ipapashe ngokungqongqo le nkonzo kwiinyanga zamva nje - kwimagazini yayo yenqwelomoya, iibhodi ezinkulu kunye nentengiso yesikhululo seenqwelomoya - nangona ingadwelisi ukuba zeziphi iinqwelomoya ezibonelela nge-Wi-Fi. NgoLwesibini emva kwemini kwinyanga ephelileyo, kwi-Delta Flight 1782 ukusuka e-Atlanta ukuya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseNew York iLaGuardia, akukho nto ibonisayo ngaphambi kokuba ikhwele i-Boeing 757 ifakwe i-Wi-Fi. Ijenali yayiqinisekisile kwangaphambili kunye neDelta ukuba inqwelomoya ngaloo mini ibonise inkonzo, kodwa umkhweli oqhelekileyo akanakukwazi ukwenza okufanayo.

Uphawu lokuqala olubonisa ukuba i-1782 yayinenkonzo yayiyi-decal encinci ecaleni komnyango wenqwelomoya kunye nophawu lwe-Wi-Fi oluhlala luthunyelwa kwiivenkile zekofu nakwiindawo zokuhlala zehotele.

Bakuba bekhwele abakhweli, umlindi uLinda Oakes kwi-intercom wabhengeza oku: “Sinendlela yethu yokufikelela kwi-Intanethi ngendlela yodidi oluphezulu kwinqwelo-moya.” Wayalela abakhweli ukuba bafunde iflaya yekhadibhodi ekwipokotho engasemva, echaza imiyalelo elula yendlela yokungena xa inqwelomoya ibhabha kwaye ingaphezulu kweemitha ezili-10,000. Inkonzo, yokunciphisa uphazamiseko kwiinkqubo zonxibelelwano zenqwelomoya, ayigunyaziswanga ngaphantsi kobude.

Umongo wezalathiso: Vula ilaptop yakho. (Ingcebiso: Ikhompyuter yakho kufuneka ixhotyiselwe ukufikelela ngaphandle kwamacingo.) Jonga inethiwekhi engenazingcingo kwaye uqhagamshele. Vula isikhangeli sakho sewebhu kwaye ulandele amanyathelo e-intanethi ukuhlawula inkonzo ngekhadi letyala.

NjengoMelika, iVirgin America, kunye nenkonzo ecetywayo yi-United, i-Delta isebenzisa inkqubo ebizwa ngokuba yiGogo, eyenziwe yi-Aircell LLC. Inkonzo, esebenzisa iinqaba zeselfowuni ezisekwe emhlabeni ngophawu lwayo, ixabisa i-9.95 yeedola kwiinqwelomoya eziphantsi kweeyure ezintathu kunye ne-12.95 yeedola kwiinqwelomoya ezinde. Abo bane-Wi-Fi enikwe amandla izixhobo eziphathwa ngesandla banokungena kwi-7.95 yeedola kwaye inkampani ithi kungekudala izakwazisa ukupasa kwenyanga kubahambi abalindele ukusebenzisa inkonzo rhoqo ngalo naliphi na ixesha leentsuku ezingama-30.

Inkonzo ephikisanayo enikezelwa nguRow 44 Inc. isebenzisa unxibelelwano lwesathelayithi kwisignali yayo kwaye ngoku ivavanywa nguMzantsi-ntshona kunye neAlaska. Amaxabiso aloo nkonzo akakacaciswa.

Uninzi lwabakhweli beFlight 1782 abasebenzisa uGogo bathi bafumanise ukuba kulula ukuyisebenzisa kwaye ngokukhawuleza njengoko uninzi lwamabala eWi-Fi emhlabeni.

"Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiza kufuna ukwazi ukuba zeziphi iinqwelomoya ezinayo kwaye zeziphi iinqwelomoya ezingenayo," utshilo uScott Brown, isigqeba esise-Atlanta kunye nenkampani yeteknoloji yaseDenmark, ehleli nje emva kwecandelo loshishino. "Kwenza umahluko omkhulu ukukwazi ukuhlala uxakekile."

Umnumzana uBrown uthe wakwazi ukubukela ividiyo ye-Intanethi ngqo, ukuthumela i-imeyile kwaye enze neminye imisebenzi ye-intanethi ngaphandle kokulibazisa. Kwisihlalo esilandelayo, uSean Hill, umphathi wentengiso kunye nekhonkco lokutyela esekwe e-Atlanta, uthe ungene kwinethiwekhi yenkampani yakhe yabucala ngokulula. “Ndingawenza umsebenzi omninzi,” watsho uMnu. Hill, ethethelela umrhumo awuhlawulayo kwikhadi lakhe letyala.

Ngelixa inkqubo ibonakala ilula ngokwaneleyo ukuyisebenzisa kwabo baneekhompyuter ezingenazinkathazo, abakhweli akufanele balindele ukuba abagadi benqwelomoya bame kwi-ofisi yomcebisi we-IT ukuba baneengxaki zokungena. "Sifumene iiyure ezingama-20 zoqeqesho kwinkqubo," waqhula uNksz Oakes, umlindi wenqwelomoya, echaza ukuba abalindi baxelelwa nje ngezinto ezisisiseko zenkonzo, kodwa enyanisweni banolwazi oluncinci ngayo nayiphi na imiba yobugcisa enokuthi ivele.

Kwenye inqwelomoya yamva nje yeDelta phakathi kweWashington, DC, kunye neAtlanta, abasebenzi benqwelomoya bathi abazi nokuba iWi-Fi ikhona kwaye bahlekisa ngengcebiso yokunceda umkhweli onengxaki yokungena.

I-Aircell inikezela ngenkonzo yengxoxo ephilayo kunye nabasebenzi benkxaso yobugcisa xa abathengi bengena; omnye umthengi-inkonzo rep uthe iziko inkxaso ufumana phezu 40 izingxoxo ngosuku. Kodwa oko akwenzi nto ilungileyo kwabo bangakwaziyo ukungena kwinethiwekhi kwasekuqaleni.

Abakhweli kufuneka bakhumbule ukuba zimbalwa kakhulu iinqwelomoya zorhwebo ngoku ezineendawo zokuthengisa umbane kudidi lwezoqoqosho. Iinqwelomoya ziya zizifaka kwinqwelomoya entsha, kodwa abakhweli kufuneka bahlawule iilaptops ukuze babe kwicala elikhuselekileyo.

Enye inkxalabo lukhuseleko. Kule veki, i-Netragard LLC, inkampani yokhuseleko lomnatha, ithe abavavanyi bayo bakwazi ukuthintela idatha evela kwinkonzo kaGogo. "Kulula kakhulu kwi-hacker ebhodini ukuba ibambe kwaye irekhode yonke idatha ethunyelwe kwaye yamkelwe ngabakhweli," yatsho inkampani kwingxelo. I-Aircell kwisiteyitimenti yathi idatha ethunyelwe ngoGogo "ikhuselekile njengayo nayiphi na i-Wi-Fi hotspot yoluntu ehotele, kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya okanye kwindlu yekofu."
