As global trade volumes continue to grow, the need for more advanced, efficient, and secure port operations becomes crucial. This panel will delve into how private 5G networks can revolutionize port operations by enhancing safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. Our expert speakers will review critical use cases of private 5G in ports, including Perimeter and Surveillance Security, Drone-Based Inspection Services, Real-time Access to Plans and Drawings, Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV) Management, and 3D Workforce Tracking. The session will explore the significant advantages of 5G such as improved scalability and availability, higher bandwidth capacity, broader frequency spectrum, and enhanced interoperability which, when integrated with AI and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), facilitate a wide range of innovative applications. Key implementation considerations like the integration with existing technologies such as Land Mobile Radio (LMR), the deployment of Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) for increased coverage, and the establishment of a secure and resilient 5G core will be discussed to address deployment challenges. Attendees will leave with a comprehensive understanding of the transformative impact of private 5G on port operations and the strategic approaches essential for successful implementation.
