Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) Trust has rolled out 5G technology at its Hong Kong container terminals – a first for the country.
In conjunction with 3HK, reported to offer the strongest 5G network in Hong Kong, HPH Trust has established five 5g base stations in its terminals facilitating ultra-highspeed, low latency and large-scale machine-type communications. Ensuing benefits are reported as greater remote execution abilities, more connected devices and the option to implement virtual private real-time networks. HPH Trust further reports three pilot projects underway at its terminals: structuring a communications channel via 5G to remotely control rubber tyred gantries; introducing a CCTV system employing Artificial Intelligence with intrusion detection features for gatehouse application to maximise terminal security and the adoption of CCTV on quay cranes in order to better monitor berth traffic and vessel operations.
