For the sake of the 56 users on the island, it is worth it to brave the wind and snow! "On the eve of the Lunar New Year, a cold wave hit, rain and snow fell on Manshan Island in Suzhou, and engineers Huang Ming, Xu and Fei were patrolling the island.
Manshan Island is a pristine island in Taihu Lake in Suzhou. In the past, the islanders watched TV, and the picture was blurry; Typing **, the voice is intermittent. In June 2021, Jiangsu Cable became the first communication operator to land on the island, allowing Manshan Island to step from "no network at home" to the "5G era".
Huang Ming and Xu Youfei are community engineers at Jiangsu Cable Suzhou Branch Resort and Jinting Radio and Power Station (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Power Station"). Approaching the Spring Festival, in order to meet the "sense of ceremony" of the island's residents for family reunions and the Spring Festival Gala, they went to Manshan Island to conduct a routine "physical examination" for the line.
Huang Ming: "In fact, usually, our routine maintenance cycle is about a month, mainly to go to the island to check, maintain, and repair the line, but also to check the optical power of the optical fiber, as well as the image quality and stability of the broadcast picture when the user uses the equipment. Huang Ming, a community engineer of the radio station, said that the Spring Festival is different from the past, in order to let the residents of the island spend a happy and peaceful year, protect everyone's "Spring Festival screen", "this is our duty, we must not slack off".
Bo Jingyan (left) According to Bo Jingyan, the bus business manager of the radio and power station, Manshan Island is not accessible by land, and the residents on the island rely on boat ferries to travel, which is extremely inconvenient. The island is sparsely populated, and most of them are elderly. "In order to meet the living needs of the island's residents, we have covered the whole island with optical fiber cables, and there are currently 56 Jiangsu cable users on the island. ”
Qian Xingming (left) "We used to use satellite dishes, the signal was very bad, and the TV programs were very small. Qian Xingming, a resident of Manshan Island, said with emotion that when he used to watch TV, the signal was extremely unstable, and if the Spring Festival Gala saw that there was no signal in the highlights, "then I was in a hurry." Now, relying on high-definition digital TV signals and broadband networks, "there are more TV programs, the clarity and other aspects are better, the network signal is good, and the children can still share when they come back."
Xu Youfei (left) and Wu Fengzhen: "The people on the island are more hospitable, and sometimes they will leave us to eat, and we are like family, and we can feel some warmth of home when we come." At the home of Wu Fengzhen, a resident of Manshan Island, Xu Youfei, a community engineer of the radio and power station, and the old man Yan Yan Yan who demonstrated the operation. Huang Ming, Xu and Fei also sent blessing words and pasted couplets for the elderly, so that this harsh winter was full of the flavor of the New Year......
