Why is the outdoor network often unreliable?
Why are the network signals in the suburbs and mountainous areas particularly poor?
When natural disasters strike, why do networks often get disrupted and communication signals often fail to reach us?
The reason for this is that the instability of the network and communication signals is closely related to the communication facilities, as well as the geographical and weather conditions. To know how to change the current situation, one must first understand the current situation of communication facilities and environmental characteristics in our country, as well as the "survival ability" of communication equipment? Let's follow the editor from Henan Dalin and learn about it together!
The normal operation of the communication network relies on the optical cable/fiber optic network as the basic physical channel and its supporting equipment. However, China is a country prone to natural disasters. Communication facilities (such as physical facilities in the optical cable and fiber optic network) are easily damaged by natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons, floods, and ice and snow. Although China's communication technology strength has strengthened in recent years and a world's largest optical cable network has been built, due to the constraints of objective factors such as geographical conditions and financial conditions, the safety performance of the optical cable network in most areas is insufficient.
Take the outdoor communication cabinet as an example. Its main function is to provide an outdoor physical working environment and safety system for wireless communication stations or workstation of wired network sites. Since most of the outdoor cabinets are of single-cabinet structure, when they are subjected to certain impacts or special natural disasters, they may tip over or encounter other situations, which will cause damage to the electronic components inside the cabinet. In severe cases, there may even be circuit burning, explosion and other hazards, affecting communication.
How to deal with natural disasters?
Is there any solution to the problem of protecting equipment in outdoor conditions?
Currently, Henan Dalin is actively optimizing its existing products and developing new ones to enhance the safety of communication supporting equipment and the "survival ability" in the outdoors. By changing materials, designs, and manufacturing techniques, it aims to strengthen the safety and stability of communication facilities, including outdoor communication cabinets. Additionally, in the process of protecting outdoor communication equipment, improving and stabilizing network speed and communication signals, Henan Dalin has two suggestions that are relevant to operators and communication equipment purchasers.
Enhance protection.
The installation personnel of the equipment need to identify the areas that have a significant impact on the overall network. They should strengthen the protective measures for these specific areas, aiming to minimize the adverse effects of natural disasters on the network and the damage caused to the surrounding environment.
② Enhance the security of communication equipment.
When choosing communication equipment, whether it is FTTH-related products such as optical fiber fast connectors, optical cable distribution boxes, optical cable junction boxes, optical splitters, or supporting equipment like outdoor communication cabinets and network cabinets, one must pay attention to their waterproof, moisture-proof, and pressure-resistant properties. Only by improving the quality and safety of the supporting facilities of the optical cable network can the survival rate under natural environment and disaster impacts be enhanced.
In conclusion, only with good communication equipment and supporting facilities can the communication network achieve stable and extremely fast performance.
