E ai ki te tohunga muka o Ahitereiria ma te hononga hou ka whakatuu a Darwin, te taone nui o Te Taitokerau, "hei waahi urunga hou mo Ahitereiria mo te hononga raraunga o te ao"
I te timatanga o tenei wiki, i kii a Vocus kua hainatia e ia nga kirimana hei hanga i te waahanga whakamutunga o te Darwin-Jakarta-Singapore Cable (DJSC) kua roa e tatari ana, he punaha taura AU $500 miriona e hono ana ki Perth, Darwin, Port Hedland, Christmas Island, Jakarta, me Singapore.

Na enei kirimana hanga hou, $100 miriona te uara, kei te putea e Vocus te hanga i tetahi taura 1,000km e hono ana i te Australia Singapore Cable (ASC) ki te North West Cable System (NWCS) i Port Hedland. Ma te mahi pera, kei te hanga e Vocus te DJSC, e whakarato ana ki a Darwin tana hononga taura o raro moana tuatahi o te ao.

E 4,600km te roa o te ASC, e hono ana i a Perth i te tai hauāuru o Ahitereiria ki Singapore. Ko te NWCA, i tenei wa, e 2,100 kiromita ki te hauauru mai i Darwin ma te takutai raki-hauauru o Ahitereiria i mua i te taunga ki Port Hedland. Mai i konei ka hono te hononga hou a Vocus ki te ASC.

No reira, ka oti, ka hono te DJSC ki a Perth, Darwin, Port Hedland, Christmas Island, Indonesia, me Singapore, e whakarato ana i te kaha 40Tbps.

Ko te tikanga ka reri te taura mo te ratonga hei te waenganui o te tau 2023.

“Ko te Waea Darwin-Jakarta-Singapore he tohu nui o te maia ki te Whakamutunga Runga hei kaiwhakarato o te ao mo te honohono me nga ahumahi matihiko,” e kii ana te Tumuaki Minita mo te rohe o Te Raki a Michael Gunner. “Ma tenei ano ka whakapumau i a Darwin hei ohanga matihiko tino matatau ki te Raki o Ahitereiria, a ka whakatuwhera i te kuaha ki nga huarahi hou mo nga mahi whakangao, pokapu raraunga me nga ratonga rorohiko-a-kapua mo nga Territorians me nga kaipupuri moni."

Engari ehara i te waahi taura o te moana anake e mahi ana a Vocus ki te whakapai ake i te hononga mo te rohe o Te Taitokerau, me te mahara kua oti ano te kaupapa 'Terabit Territory' i te taha o te kawanatanga a te rohe o te rohe, me te whakamahi i te hangarau 200Gbps ki runga i tana whatunga muka rohe.

"Kua tukuna e matou te Terabit Territory - he 25-wa te pikinga o te kaha ki Darwin. Kua tukuna e matou he taura moana mai i Darwin ki nga Moutere o Tiwi. Kei te ahu whakamua a Project Horizon — he hononga muka 2,000km hou mai i Perth ki Port Hedland me Darwin. A i tenei ra kua panuitia e matou te taura Darwin-Jakarta-Singapore, te hononga tuatahi o te moana moana ki Darwin,” te kii a te Kaiwhakahaere me te Tumuaki o Vocus Group, a Kevin Russell. "Kaore etahi atu kaiwhakahaere waea e tata ana ki tenei taumata o te haumi ki nga hanganga muka kaha."

Ko nga huarahi whatunga mai i Adelaide ki Darwin ki Brisbane i whiwhi i te whakahoutanga ki te 200Gpbs, me te kii a Vocus ka whakahoutia ano tenei ki te 400Gbps ina waatea te hangarau ki te hokohoko.

Ko Vocus ake i riro mana e Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA) me te putea penihana Aware Super mo te AU $3.5 piriona I te marama o Hune.
