Port terminal operations

“The deployment of Nokia private LTE was a significant milestone for us at the Port of Tacoma and has exceeded our expectations. The regular disconnections and packet loss that we experienced over Wi-Fi, that created downtime and impacted productivity, are now a thing of the past. With reliability no longer a concern, we’ve moved from firefighting mode to focusing on the strategic use cases that will further enhance operations for our customers as well as our teams working at the port.”

“The 4.9G/LTE private wireless network connects all our ports, all our means of production. And most importantly, it connects the 15 different companies that are here every day, in two shifts. This connections need to work over a very large area. In three years of use, I have not received a single notification about the network not working so this is an extremely well-functioning network. ”

“Building flexible and resilient technology platforms to meet our customers’ needs is a key element of our strategy, and becoming the first mainland port operator in the UK to offer a private 5G network to our customers is a fantastic milestone for ABP. We would like to thank our partners for enabling this project, which will equip our Port in Southampton with the state-of-the-art infrastructure needed to be at the forefront of the digital revolution in the maritime industry. ”

“Innovation is at the heart of Puerto Bahía. Our aim as a company is to implement technological tools that help us position ourselves as a Smart Port 4.0. With Claro and Nokia deploying an industrial-grade network, we are undoubtedly setting a great scenario for the optimization of our logistics and the development of various use cases that will lead us to a more effective operation and benefit our customers, suppliers and collaborators. ”

“We are working with AT&T Mexico and Nokia because of their expertise and unique knowledge in the Mexican telecom market. The signal strength has really exceeded our expectations so far. We can cover the entire port with the solution, reaching a radius of about 6 kilometers. This platform is already considered a reference for the rest of the terminals in the group. ”

“By implementing the Nokia Industrial fieldrouters and dongles within straddle carriers, cranes and mobile machines we can rely on them staying connected to the control center. It has allowed us to increase automation as we continue to deliver innovative solutions that will benefit our customers. ”

“In the Baltic Sea region, fuel consumption accounts for over 50% of ships’ expenses. Based on our data, we can offer the ships just-in-time arrival slots. This helps the ships regulate their speed at sea, enabling substantial cost savings on fuel. The current LTE network will also serve us exceptionally well in the future. We will need local 5G in those cases that require a higher uplink speed or certain kinds of autonomous functions. We’ve had a very good experience using Nokia’s technology. It has proven to be reliable and, above all, connecting different devices to the network and controlling them on it has been really easy.”

“Port and terminal operators worldwide are eager to leverage the productivity gains on offer with cargo handling automation – and secure, reliable, high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity is an essential part of that equation. By integrating our pioneering Kalmar solutions with latest Nokia digitalization innovation, we can deliver a new generation of offerings that transform port terminal operations. ”
