Kule mihla yedijithali, uqhagamshelo lwe-intanethi oluthembekileyo nolukhawulezayo lubalulekile ukuze amashishini ahlale ekhuphisana. Izantya ezicothayo ze-intanethi zinokubangela ukulahleka kwemveliso kunye nengeniso, yiyo loo nto amashishini amaninzi ejikela kwintambo ye-OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) ukuphucula isantya se-intanethi.
Intambo ye-OPGW luhlobo lwentambo yefiber optic efakwe kwiinqaba zothumelo lombane ophezulu. Iqukethe imicu ye-optical efakwe kwinqanaba le-aluminium kunye nentsimbi, ukubonelela kokubili kombane kunye ne-optical conductivity. Intambo ye-OPGW yenzelwe ukumelana neemeko zemozulu ezimandundu kwaye iyamelana nomonakalo ovela kwizinto ezisingqongileyo, iyenza ibe lolona khetho lufanelekileyo kumashishini afuna uqhagamshelo lwe-intanethi oluthembekileyo nolukhawulezayo.
Enye yeenzuzo eziphambili zeIntambo ye-OPGWngumthamo wayo ophezulu we-bandwidth. Iifiber ze-optical ezisetyenziswa kwintambo ye-OPGW ziyakwazi ukuhambisa idatha ngesantya esiphezulu kakhulu, esivumela ukuhanjiswa kwedatha eninzi kwimigama emide kwimiba yemizuzwana. Oku kwenza intambo ye-OPGW ibe sisisombululo esifanelekileyo kumashishini afuna uqhagamshelo lwe-intanethi olukhawulezayo nolusebenzayo kwimisebenzi yawo.
Intambo ye-OPGW ikwasisisombululo esingabizi kakhulu sokuphucula isantya se-intanethi. Ekubeni ifakwe kwiinqaba zothumelo ezikhoyo, akukho mfuneko yezibonelelo ezongezelelweyo, ezinciphisa iindleko ezipheleleyo zokufakela. Ngaphezu koko, intambo ye-OPGW ifuna ukulungiswa okuncinci kunezinye iintlobo zeentambo, inciphisa ngakumbi iindleko zayo zexesha elide.
Enye inzuzo ye-OPGW cable kukuthembeka kwayo. Yenzelwe ukumelana neemeko zemozulu ezimandundu, kubandakanywa umoya onamandla, imvula, kunye nokubetha kwemibane, ukuqinisekisa uqhagamshelo lwe-intanethi olungaguqukiyo noluthembekileyo kumashishini.
Ukuququmbela,OPGWintambo sisisombululo esihle kakhulu kumashishini afuna uqhagamshelo oluthembekileyo nolukhawulezayo lwe-intanethi. Umthamo wayo ophezulu we-bandwidth, indleko-ukusebenza, kunye nokuthembeka kwenza ukuba kube yinto ekhethwayo kumashishini abo bonke ubukhulu. Njengoko imfuno ye-intanethi ekhawulezayo nesebenzayo iqhubeka ikhula, intambo ye-OPGW kusenokwenzeka ukuba idume ngakumbi kwiminyaka ezayo, inceda amashishini ukuba ahlale phambi kokhuphiswano.
