Port Automation & Digitalization through LTE/5G Private Wireless Connectivity

Port Automation & Digitalization through LTE/5G Private Wireless Connectivity

Overview

Modern ports are driving change with pervasive, reliable, high bandwidth wireless networks.

As container throughput continues to grow it is becoming clear to many terminal operators that today’s networks are not up to the task if they seek to achieve operational excellence and improve productivity among a hugely competitive market.

Container terminals are never static and currently deployed wireless technologies such as WiFi often are challenged to meet reliability and coverage demands in a dynamic physical environment. LTE/5G networks are set to alleviate the connectivity issues that current networks are causing.

Increasing bandwidth and decreasing latency in networks will also enable an increasing number of use cases to work smoothly in the Port environment.

LTE/5G networks will be the foundation for advanced automation and digitalization of ports and container terminals. These new networks are allowing modern ports to be more competitive and prepared for the next age of Industry 4.0 technologies which is critical across all port operations.

In this webinar you will understand how LTE/5G networks can improve operations at container terminals and hear:

• Ports discussing their evaluation criteria for this critical network
• Key case studies of LTE/5G networks deployed and being implemented
• How LTE/5G can revolutionise digital transformations at ports and terminals 
• How 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) mobile technologies are the flag bearer for wireless communications of the future
