Ingcali yefiber yase-Australia ithi unxibelelwano olutsha luza kuseka iDarwin, ikomkhulu leNdawo yaseMantla, "njengendawo yokungena entsha yase-Australia yoqhagamshelwano lwedatha yehlabathi"
Ekuqaleni kwale veki, iVocus ibhengeze ukuba isayine iikontraka zokwakha icandelo lokugqibela le-Darwin-Jakarta-Singapore Cable (DJSC), i-AU $ 500 yezigidi ze-cable system edibanisa iPerth, iDarwin, iPort Hedland, iChristmas Island, iJakarta, kunye neSingapore.

Ngezi mvumelwano zokwakha zakutsha nje, ezixabisa i-AU$100 lezigidi, iVocus ixhasa ngemali ukuyilwa kwentambo eyi-1,000km edibanisa i-Australia Singapore Cable (ASC) ekhoyo kwiNkqubo yeCable yaseMntla Ntshona (NWCS) ePort Hedland. Ngokwenza njalo, iVocus idala i-DJSC, ibonelela ngeDarwin ngoqhagamshelo lokuqala lwekhebula lwamazwe ngamazwe.

I-ASC okwangoku ithatha i-4,600km, idibanisa iPerth kunxweme olusentshona ye-Australia ukuya eSingapore. I-NWCA, okwangoku, ibaleka i-2,100km ngasentshona ukusuka eDarwin kunxweme olusemantla-ntshona e-Australia ngaphambi kokufika ePort Hedland. Iza kuvela apha ukuba ikhonkco elitsha likaVocus liya kuqhagamshela kwi-ASC.

Ngaloo ndlela, xa igqityiwe, i-DJSC iya kudibanisa iPerth, iDarwin, iPort Hedland, iChristmas Island, i-Indonesia, kunye neSingapore, inikezela nge-40Tbps yamandla.

Intambo kulindeleke ukuba ibe sele ilungele ukusebenza phakathi ku-2023.

"I-Darwin-Jakarta-Singapore Cable luphawu olukhulu lokuzithemba kwi-Top End njengomboneleli wezizwe ngezizwe woqhagamshelo kunye namashishini edijithali," utshilo uMphathiswa oMkhulu weNdawo yaseMntla uMichael Gunner. “Oku kuphinda kuqinise iDarwin njengolona qoqosho lwedijithali luphucukileyo kuMntla weOstreliya, kwaye kuya kuvula umnyango kumathuba amatsha okwenziwa kwemveliso, amaziko edatha kunye neenkonzo zekhompuyutha ezisekwe emafini kubantu baseTerritorians nabatyali-mali.”

Kodwa ayisiyondawo yentambo yangaphantsi kwamanzi apho iVocus isebenzela ukuphucula unxibelelwano kwiNdawo eseMantla, iphawula ukuba isandula ukugqibezela iprojekthi 'yeTerabit Territory' ecaleni korhulumente womanyano wengingqi, ithumela i-200Gbps tech kuthungelwano lwefiber yendawo.

“Siyihambisile iTerabit Territory - ukonyuka kwamanani ngama-25 eDarwin. Sihambise intambo yangaphantsi kwamanzi ukusuka eDarwin ukuya kwiZiqithi zaseTiwi. Siqhubela phambili neProjekthi Horizon — uqhagamshelo olutsha lwe-2,000km lwefiber ukusuka ePerth ukuya ePort Hedland ukuya eDarwin. Kwaye namhlanje sibhengeze iDarwin-Jakarta-Singapore Cable, uqhagamshelo lokuqala lwenkwili yamazwe ngamazwe eDarwin,” utshilo umlawuli olawulayo weVocus Group kunye neCEO uKevin Russell. "Akekho omnye umntu osebenza nge-telecom osondela kweli nqanaba lotyalo-mali kwiziseko zophuhliso lwefiber ephezulu."

Iindlela zenethiwekhi ukusuka e-Adelaide ukuya eDarwin ukuya eBrisbane zifumene ukuphuculwa kwe-200Gpbs, kunye neVocus ephawula ukuba oku kuya kuphuculwa kwakhona kwi-400Gbps xa iteknoloji ifumaneka ngokurhweba.

IVocus ngokwayo yafunyanwa ngokusesikweni yiMacquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA) kunye nengxowamali yesuperannuation Aware Super ngeAU$3.5 yebhiliyoni Buyela ngoJuni.
