Isazi se-fiber yase-Australia sithi ukuxhumana okusha kuzosungula iDarwin, inhlokodolobha yaseNyakatho yeTrailand, “njengendawo entsha yokungena yokuxhuma idatha yase-Australia”
Ngasekuqaleni kwaleli sonto, iVocus imemezele ukuthi isayine izinkontileka zokwakha ingxenye yokugcina yekhebula elilindelwe isikhathi eside iDarwin-Jakarta-Singapore Cable (DJSC), i-AU $ 500 million cable cable exhumanisa iPerth, Darwin, Port Hedland, Christmas Island, Jakarta, kanye neSingapore.

Ngalezi zinkontileka zakamuva zokwakha, ezibiza i-AU $ 100 million, iVocus ixhasa ukwakhiwa kwekhebula le-1,000km elixhumanisa i-Australia Singapore Cable (ASC) ekhona neNorth West Cable System (NWCS) ePort Hedland. Ngokwenza njalo, iVocus idala i-DJSC, inikezela iDarwin ngoxhumano lwayo lokuqala lwentambo yangaphansi kolwandle.

I-ASC njengamanje yeqa ama-4,600km, ixhumanisa iPerth ogwini olusentshonalanga ye-Australia neSingapore. Okwamanje, i-NWCA igijima u-2,100km ukusuka entshonalanga neDarwin ngasogwini olusenyakatho nentshonalanga ye-Australia ngaphambi kokufika ePort Hedland. Kuzovela lapha lapho isixhumanisi esisha sikaVocus sizoxhuma khona ku-ASC.

Ngakho-ke, uma seyiqediwe, i-DJSC izoxhumanisa iPerth, iDarwin, iPort Hedland, iChristmas Island, i-Indonesia neSingapore, inikeze amandla angama-40Tbps.

Ikhebula kulindeleke ukuthi selilungele ukusebenza maphakathi no-2023.

"IDarwin-Jakarta-Singapore Cable iwuphawu olukhulu lokuzethemba iTop End njengomhlinzeki wamazwe omhlaba wokuxhumana nezimboni zedijithali," kusho uNgqongqoshe Omkhulu Wezindawo ZaseNorthern Territory uMichael Gunner. "Lokhu kuqinisa iDarwin njengomnotho osezingeni eliphakeme waseNyakatho ne-Australia, futhi kuzovula umnyango wamathuba amasha wokukhiqiza osezingeni eliphakeme, izikhungo zedatha kanye nezinsizakalo zekhompyutha ezenzelwe amafu zabaphehli nabatshali bezimali."

Kepha akugcini esikhaleni sekhebula lwasolwandle lapho iVocus isebenza ukuthuthukisa ukuxhumana kweNorthern Territory, iphawula ukuthi isanda kuqeda iphrojekthi ye-'Terabit Territory 'kanye nohulumeni wesifunda, ithumela ubuchwepheshe be-200Gbps kunethiwekhi yayo yasendaweni ye-fiber.

“Silethe iTerabit Territory - okuyisibalo esikhuphuke ngokuphindwe ka-25 eDarwin. Silethe ikhebula lasolwandle lisuka eDarwin liya eziqhingini zaseTiwi. Siqhubeka ne-Project Horizon - uxhumano olusha lwe-fiber ye-2,000km kusuka ePerth kuya ePort Hedland naseDarwin. Futhi namhlanje simemezele iDarwin-Jakarta-Singapore Cable, okuyi-submarine yokuqala yamazwe omhlaba eya eDarwin, ”kusho umphathi nomqondisi omkhulu weVocus Group uKevin Russell. "Akekho omunye opharetha wezingcingo osondela kuleli zinga lokutshalwa kwezimali kwingqalasizinda enamandla kakhulu."

Imizila yenethiwekhi esuka e-Adelaide iya eDarwin iya eBrisbane ithole ukuthuthuka kuya ku-200Gpbs, iVocus ibone ukuthi lokhu kuzophinde kuthuthukiswe futhi kube yi-400Gbps lapho ubuchwepheshe sebutholakala ngentengiso.

IVocus uqobo lwayo yatholwa ngokusemthethweni yiMacquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA) kanye nesikhwama se-Superannuation Aware Super se-AU $ 3.5 billion Emuva ngoJuni.
