Port of Tyne partners with BT and Ericsson to deploy a 5G private network and smart port technology across the entire estate. Low latency connectivity is at the heart of a long-term vision to streamline operations, improve safety, reduce carbon emissions and drive innovation in the maritime industry.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Port of Tyne, one of the UK\u2019s biggest and most important ports, has gone live with 4G and 5G private network connectivity, bringing together its vision to become a leading smart port that is a model of safety, efficiency and sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with partners BT and Ericsson, the port has deployed a private network with coverage across the entire estate, making it the UK\u2019s first site-wide deployment of 4G and 5G standalone connectivity for smart port applications.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The infrastructure is built upon an Ericsson Private 5G solution and BT spectrum, whereby both 4G and 5G will operate simultaneously to support legacy devices as well as power new 5G applications in the port\u2019s future transformation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first set of live use cases begun in November, including video and sensors installed at each gate on the site to use automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) to securely manage and track vehicle access, as well as 5G-enabled cameras with a 360-degree view at the quayside combined with AI-driven software to provide automated container inspection and identification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By deploying a private 5G wireless network, the port is positioning itself to integrate a series of future 5G applications and advanced technologies to support new customer requirements and enable the transition to a green smart port.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These future applications include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Autonomous Navigation Technology so that vehicles can move cargoes and equipment around the port <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Remote crane operations that will enable operators to work from simulated cabs with precise location information, full HD+ video and sensory haptics <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Connected drones at land and sea to autonomously inspect cranes, quayside, buoys and other physical infrastructure <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Wearable technology and XR devices to be used for immersive training and remote maintenance engineers <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A connected eco-system of AI sensors, video and data sources from inside and outside the port to generate new business intelligence and improve operational efficiency <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Port of Tyne also has an ambitious vision to become a leader in 5G maritime innovation and provide an industry eco-system testbed to help build a future blueprint of 5G-enabled smart applications to automate manual tasks, improve decision-making and reduce CO2 emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of maritime industry innovation was further discussed by the Port of Tyne across three days in early November at Maritime Innovation Week 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew Beeton, Chief Executive Officer, Port of Tyne, said: \u201cI believe that 5G is going to play a crucial role in helping Port of Tyne achieve our goals. We can streamline our operations, improve safety and sustainability and drive growth and innovation throughout the entire maritime industry and beyond.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith seamless connectivity, we can link shipping companies, logistics providers and regulatory bodies from around the world, enabling us to work together more effectively to address global challenges like climate change and cybersecurity threats.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashish Gupta, MD, Corporate and Public Sector at BT, said: \u201cWhat makes 5G so exciting is it allows innovative use cases which help businesses do things quicker, safer, smarter, better. At Port of Tyne, it\u2019s about taking people out of harm\u2019s way, where autonomous machines could instead be used in dangerous environments and laying the digital foundations to introduce new technologies and improve efficiency at the port.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duncan Hawkins, VP Dedicated Networks and Enterprise Wireless Solutions, Ericsson, said: \u201cTogether with BT and the Port of Tyne we are turning the vision of a 5G port into a reality and this deployment serves as a great model of maritime innovation for the UK and the world.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c5G brings the essential characteristics such as coverage, speed and low latency to leverage new applications and use cases required to transform port operations, drive business efficiencies and build a blueprint for sustainability success and future economic growth.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
