Endpoints are the ultimate destination for the supply of data in any digital ecosystem. They include mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, handhelds, and their accessories.
As the proliferation of IoT unites more aspects of terminal operations across the port – and the wider supply chain – there’s a paradigm shift in the connectivity requirements of the entire digital ecosystem.
With 5G the only network capable of providing the necessary scale, reliability, and security to support the widespread rollout of IoT in the challenging environment of ports and harbours, the benchmark for digital endpoints changes too.
Operators now need mobile devices that can both fully support 5G networks and withstand the outdoor conditions and hazards that typify the maritime domain.
And it’s why Panasonic TOUGHBOOK solutions are the right endpoints for you.
Backed by 25 years of proven reliability, the TOUGHBOOK series of rugged devices, software and vehicle mounts is now making a massive difference to digital progress right across your sector. And there are at least 7 good reasons why:
Better asset tracking, safety and security, predictive maintenance, and real-time updates available across all freight and logistics are just some of the benefits that IoT can bring to Smart Ports.
But that scale of IoT deployment comes with significantly greater connectivity demands, requiring a network that goes beyond the capabilities of WiFi, Bluetooth, or 4G.
Private 5G networks offer the benefits of full control over network and data, including traffic prioritisation and customisation for the specific networking requirements of ports and harbour uses – and provide all this while ensuring the highest capacity, lowest latency, and strongest security.
Our short guide looks at the global trends shaping ports and harbours, and how 5G private networks hold the key to connecting of every facet of activity to make the ambition of ‘Smart Ports’ a practical reality.
