Adam Kos Kungumbono ocacile wekusasa futhi ngokushesha noma kamuva kuzokwenzeka. U-Apple umemezele ukuthi uzoqala ukuxhumana okuphuthumayo kunethiwekhi yesathelayithi ye-Globastar ekupheleni kwenyanga. Kuyisinyathelo sokuqala sokudlulela endleleni ehlukile yokuxhumana kunaleyo edluliswa ngama-opharetha. Kodwa umgwaqo usazoba mude.
Nakuba kuyisinyathelo esincane nje kuze kube manje, kuyinto enkulu engasho lutho kumuntu waseYurophu okwamanje. Kuze kube manje, ukuxhumana kwe-SOS ngesathelayithi kuzokwethulwa kuphela e-USA kanye nase-Canada. Kodwa kungase kube inkomba yezinguquko ezinkulu. I-iPhone 14 ne-14 Pro banenketho yokuxhumana ngesathelayithi, abazokwazi ukuyisebenzisela mahhala iminyaka emibili yokuqala, ngemuva kwalokho izindleko zizofika. Yiziphi, esingazazi, u-Apple akakasitsheli okwamanje. Njengoba ishicilelwe ngu isitatimende sephephandaba, esikwaziyo nje ukuthi uthele u-$450 million kuyona, azofuna ukubuyiselwa yona.

Manje ukuxhumana kweselula kwenzeka ngama-transmitter, okungukuthi ama-transmitters asemhlabeni. Lapho bengekho, lapho bengakwazi ukufinyelela khona, asinawo uphawu. Ukuxhumana ngesathelayithi akudingi ukwakhiwa komhlabathi okufanayo (ngakho-ke maqondana nama-transmitter, vele kufanele kube nokuthile phansi ngoba isathelayithi idlulisela ulwazi esiteshini esingaphansi) ngoba yonke into eyenzekayo emzileni womhlaba. Kukhona inkinga eyodwa kuphela lapha, futhi lokho amandla esignali. Amasathelayithi ayanyakaza futhi kufanele uwabheke phansi. Okudingekayo yifu futhi uphelelwe yinhlanhla. Siyazi futhi lokhu nge-GPS yamawashi ahlakaniphile, asebenza kakhulu ngaphandle, lapho nje ungena esakhiweni, isignali iyalahleka futhi indawo ayilinganiswa kahle ngokuphelele.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Ushintsho luzoza kancane
Okwamanje, i-Apple yethula kuphela ukuxhumana kwe-SOS, lapho uthumela imininingwane uma usesimweni esiphuthumayo. Kodwa asikho nesisodwa isizathu sokuthi kungani esikhathini esizayo kungeke kwenzeke ukuxhumana ngokujwayelekile ngamasathelayithi, ngisho nangezwi. Uma ukumbozwa kuqiniswa, uma isignali iyikhwalithi eyanele, umhlinzeki angasebenza emhlabeni wonke, ngaphandle kwama-transmitters asemhlabeni. Kuyikusasa eliqhakazile i-Apple njengamanje egxumela kulo kuqala, okungenani njengegama lokuqala elikhulu ukubona okuthile, yize sesibonile "izivumelwano" ezahlukahlukene lapha ezingakafezeki.

Bekuvele kukhulunywa ngakho ngaphambi kokuthi i-Apple inamandla okuba ngumqhubi weselula futhi lesi kungaba yisinyathelo sokuqala. Cishe akukho okuzoshintsha ngonyaka, emibili noma emithathu, kodwa njengoba ubuchwepheshe ngokwabo bugijimela phambili, kuningi okungashintsha. Kuya ngokuthi izokhula kangakanani, ukunwetshwa ngaphandle kwemakethe yasekhaya kanye nezwekazi kanye nezintengo ezibekiwe. Kuzo zonke izici, kukhona okumele sikubheke phambili, ngisho nokucabangela amandla e-iMessage ngokwayo, engaqinisa ngokucacile isikhundla sayo emakethe yamapulatifomu okuxhumana aphethwe yi-WhatsApp.
Lokhu kuwubuwula obuphelele… Kubiza kakhulu futhi azikho izinzuzo…
