HHLA deploys 5G network at Altenwerder
Hamburger Hafen und Logistik (HHLA) is set to establish a 5G network at its Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) as part of the German government’s ‘DigiTest’ pilot.
This initiative aims to create a digital testing ground on the terminal site to trial new application scenarios and enhance logistics processes.
“By setting up a 5G site network at Container Terminal Altenwerder, we are laying the foundation for making our digitalised processes even more efficient and reliable,” said Michael Albers, HHLA project manager.
“The 5G network is also a major prerequisite for the further automation and digitalisation of our processes. At the same time, we are delighted to open CTA up as a testing ground for 5G innovations and thus give other companies the opportunity to test this pioneering technology.”
As part of the PROCON-5G (Port Remote Operations and Container Network with 5G) pilot project, a private 5G mobile network will be deployed at CTA, offering high operational performance and reliability.
The 5G network’s fast response times and high bandwidth will enable real-time data transfer as well as strengthen resilience through a provider-independent network.
With funding of approximately €2.3 million, the project is set to run until mid-2026. It is part of the broader ‘Digitale Testfelder in Häfen’ initiative, sponsored by TÜV Rheinland.
