Imakethe ye-fiber optic yaseLatin America ibonakala ikulungele ukuzwa ukukhula okunamandla eminyakeni emine noma emihlanu ezayo.
Kulindeleke ukuthi ukutshalwa kwezimali kuma-fiber optics kwande kulo nyaka ngemuva konyaka ka-2022 onezinxushunxushu lapho izinhlelo zezinkampani zezokuxhumana zithinteke khona yizimo zomnotho ezibuthakathaka kanye nezinkinga zochungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwempahla.
“Amacebo abaqhubi ababenawo [ngo-2022] awazange ahlangatshezwane nawo, hhayi ngenxa yezinkinga zemali, kodwa ngenxa yezinye izinsiza, njengezinto zokwakha. Ngicabanga ukuthi lesi siphepho esabhekana naso kusukela ekupheleni kuka-2021 kuya maphakathi no-2022 siyazola futhi kunombono ohlukile ka-2023,” kusho u-Eduardo Jedruch, umqondisi wemithetho e-Fiber Broadband Association, echazela i-BNAmericas.
Izibalo zakamuva ezivela kwi-Fiber Broadband Association (FBA) ekupheleni kuka-2021 zibonisa ukuthi amazwe ayi-18 amakhulu eLatin America ayenezindlu noma izakhiwo eziyizigidi ezingu-103 ezidluliswe ngokuxhumeka kwe-fiber optic. i-fibra (FTTH/FTTB), 29% ngaphezulu kunasekupheleni kuka-2020.
Okwamanje, ukubhalisela i-fiber kukhuphuke ngo-47% kwaya ezigidini ezingu-46, ngokusho kocwaningo olwenziwe yi-SMC+ lwe-FBA.
Ngakho-ke, inani lababhalisile uma kubhekwa inani lezindawo ezidlulile lingu-45% eLatin America, cishe u-50% wamazinga okungena abonwe emazweni athuthukile.
IBarbados (92%), i-Uruguay (79%), kanye ne-Ecuador (61%) zivelele kulesi sifunda ngokwamazinga okungena. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwesikali kukhona iJamaica (22%), iPuerto Rico (21%), kanye nePanama (19%).
I-SMC+ yabikezela ngoNovemba ukuthi kuzoba nezindlu eziyizigidi ezingu-112 ezizodlula kanye i-fiber optics ekupheleni kuka-2022, ngababhalisile abayizigidi ezingama-56.
Kubikezele ukuthi kuzoba nesilinganiso sokukhula saminyaka yonke esingu-8.9% enanini lemindeni evunyelwe kanye no-15.3% kwababhalisile phakathi kuka-2021 no-2026, futhi ababhalisile kulindeleke ukuthi bafinyelele ku-59% wemindeni evunyelwe ngo-2026.
Ngokuphathelene nokumbozwa, kwalinganiselwa ukuthi ekupheleni kuka-2022, cishe amaphesenti angu-65 emindeni yaseLatin America izobe ixhunywe nge-fiber optics, uma kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti angu-60 ekupheleni kuka-2021. Lesi sibalo kulindeleke ukuthi sikhuphukele ku-91% ekupheleni kuka-2026.
Kulindeleke ukuthi lo nyaka uphele ngezindlu eziyizigidi ezingu-128 ezivunyelwe esifundeni kanye nokuxhumeka kwe-FTTH/FTTB okuyizigidi ezingu-67.
UJedruch uthe inkinga yamanethiwekhi e-fiber ahlanganayo ekusetshenzisweni kweLatin America isekhona. “Abasebenzi abangathathi hlangothi bangumdlali obaluleke kakhulu esikhathini esizayo, kodwa kusenezindawo zokumbozwa okufanayo ngamanethiwekhi amaningi,” waphawula.
Amamodeli ebhizinisi le-fiber optic eLatin America asazwela kakhulu ekubuneni kwabantu, okusho ukuthi iningi lokutshalwa kwezimali ligxile ezindaweni zasemadolobheni, kuyilapho ukutshalwa kwezimali ezindaweni zasemakhaya kuvame ukukhawulelwa ezinhlelweni zomkhakha womphakathi.
Isikhulu se-FBA sithe ukutshalwa kwezimali kuqhutshwa kakhulu ngabaqhubi bezintambo abafuna ukuhambisa amakhasimende abo kusuka kumanethiwekhi e-hybrid HFC kuya kuma-fiber optics, okwesibili yizinkampani ezinkulu zezokuxhumana ezithutha amakhasimende kusuka ethusi kuya kuma-fiber, kanti okwesithathu ukutshalwa kwezimali okwenziwe ngabaqhubi benethiwekhi abangathathi hlangothi.
Inkampani yaseChile iMundo isanda kumemezela ukuthi ibe yinkampani yokuqala ukuhambisa wonke amakhasimende ayo e-HFC kuma-fiber optics. I-Claro-VTR joint venture kulindeleke ukuthi iphinde itshale imali kuma-fiber optics eChile.
EMexico, inkampani yezintambo iMegacable nayo inohlelo oluhlanganisa ukutshalwa kwezimali okungaba yi-US$2 billion eminyakeni emithathu kuya kwemine ezayo ukuze yandise ukumbozwa kwayo futhi ithuthe amakhasimende esuka ku-HFC aye ku-fiber.
Okwamanje, maqondana ne-fiber yezokuxhumana, iClaro Colombia yamemezela ngonyaka odlule ukuthi izotshala imali engu-$25 million ukwandisa amanethiwekhi ayo e-fiber optic emadolobheni angu-20.
EPeru, i-Movistar yeTelefónica ihlela ukufinyelela emakhaya ayizigidi ezimbili idlulile nge-fiber optics ekupheleni kuka-2022, kanti uClaro umemezele ukuthi uzofuna ukufinyelela ku-50% wezindlu zasePeru nge-fiber ekupheleni kwalo nyaka.
Nakuba esikhathini esidlule kwakubiza kakhulu kubasebenzi ukuthuthela ubuchwepheshe ngoba abasebenzisi babengaziqondi ngokugcwele izinzuzo ze-fiber optics, manje amakhasimende adinga i-fiber, njengoba kubhekwa njengokunikeza isivinini se-inthanethi esisheshayo kanye nokuxhumeka okuthembekile kakhudlwana.
“Izinkampani ezithwala impahla zisemuva kancane kwesidingo,” kusho uJedruch.
