Isikhathi sobuchwepheshe sasisho ngaphambi nangemva kwalokho, kepha ukwethulwa kwama-satellite kwakusho okuningi kakhulu ukuze amatheminali ahlukene abe khona emhlabeni jikelele. I- Ubuchwepheshe be-GPS Kusipheleke sonke lesi sikhathi esivumela ukuthi sihambe, sabelane ngendawo yethu nezinye izinto eziningi abathuthukisi abakwazile ukuzifaka ezinhlelweni zabo.
Imikhiqizo yakamuva ekhishwe yi-Apple, i- I-iPhone 8, 8 Plus ne-iPhone X ziyahambisana noGalileo, i-European positioning system eneziphuphutheki eziyi-15 ezisebenza ku-orbit ezithumela imininingwane yokubeka edingekayo kumadivayisi okukhulunywa ngawo. Ngaphezu kukaGalileo, lawa madivayisi asekela ezinye izinhlelo zokuma njenge-American GPS, i-GLONASS, ne-QZSS.
Ukunemba okukhulu lapho uthola uGalileo, i-GPS yaseYurophu
Uhlelo lokubeka i-satellite kaGalileo lwazalelwa e-European Union ngenxa yesidingo sokuzimela kuzinhlelo zokubeka amanye amandla amakhulu njenge-United States noma iRussia. Kuze kube manje, amadivayisi we-Apple abesebenzisana neGPS, ubuchwepheshe be-United States Army; I-GLONASS, ubuchwepheshe baseRussia; kanye ne-QZSS, uhlelo lokubeka amaJapane.
Uhlelo lwaseGalileo lwaseYurophu nalo lwazalwa ngesimangalo sokuba uhlelo lo ukusetshenziswa komphakathi. Yize okwamanje inakho Ama-satellite angama-15 asebenzayo ku-orbit, Kulindeleke ukuthi kuthi kuphela unyaka we-2020 kube sekukhona okunye okuphindwe kabili: iziphuphutheki ezingama-30 ezizokhulisa ukunemba kwendawo kumatheminali weselula (olunye lwezinhlelo zalo).
Amanye amadivayisi afana nalawo avela enkampanini ye-BQ asevele enokuhambisana kukaGalileo, kepha lezi zindaba zibalulekile ngoba yiyona Isikhathi sokuqala se-Apple ukuhlanganisa ubuchwepheshe baseYurophu kumadivayisi ayo njengale nqubo yokuma ethi iyiphayona ekuzulazuleni. Ukuxuba imininingwane evela kulezi zinhlelo kuzokhulisa ukunemba kuzinhlelo zokusebenza ezinjengeMephu noma iGoogle Maps.
