In this article we will wetness first ever mountain top LIFI laser 5G internet, keep reading this article for details information.
The mountain is situated near SECMOL Campus which is at Phey, next to the Indus River. SECMOL stands for "Secmol school is The Students’ Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh". Local people called the Mountain as Secmol Mountain. At top of the mountain optical wireless communication technology, were installed, this journey begins after the COVID pandemic, before that there is no internet in Secmol, after the COVID pandemic After COVID pandemic, the children had to resort to online teaching so that their studies did not stop, so people felt the need for the Internet. But the biggest obstacle was Secmol Mountain which stopped the internet from coming to Secmol town. Mr. Sonam Wangchuk a Mechanical Engineer and residence of ladakh, is a main person behind this installation of 5G internet.
Large metal towers were built in big cities so that the internet could reach far and wide. So, Mr. Wangchuk think, why we see this mountain as obstacles or problem, The signal needs height and where can you find big tower as our mountain these toy towers are of 60-70 feet and the height of our mountain is around 600-700 feet. If we install signal and tower in on the top of mountain then must be we can use internet network as well. Then Mr. Wangchuk talked to telephone companies for internet service.
What are the main problem to set up network service on mountain? One of the major problem is to reach power system to the top, it is around 7 to 10 kilowatt of power, How to maintain the batteries temperature, because the temperature is in minus at the top.
Mr. Wangchuk said why don't we use batteries and solar-powered system to build a power station. Then after many quarries and research Mr. Wangchuk find a technique through through the signals can travel wirelessly, An Indian company called NAV from Gujarat, which can provide optical wireless technology. Now they have LIFI technology which means LIFI is a wireless optical network technology that use light emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission, this needs only 100 to 200 Watt of power this can be generate from battery and solar panels.
Now the main problem it to take theses batteries and solar panels to the top and make a shade or battery house which maintain the temperature and allow battery and solar panels to work properly. With his team, they make a battery house in which battery will be in favorable temperature no matter what outside the temperature is. Then with his team they load the material to the top of Secmol mountain. And finally they successfully installed the first ever wireless communication technology at Mountain. This wireless technology work as first the LEDs(network signal) from the main tower is received in the receiver on the top of the mountain, again the signal is transmitted from the mountain's transmitter, which is received in the receiver of the school, which give network in the area.
Now, children are studying online, it is easy to understand and collect information with the help of internet. Due to Mr. Sonam wangchuk idea and his determination now it is possible to study online, also make history of world's first ever wireless network technology on top of mountain.
