Container terminals, bulk cargo berths, and logistics hubs operate 24/7, and so does your network. Tidal Wave deploys and manages end-to-end Private 5G built for the pace and scale of modern port operations.
The Problem
A container terminal moves thousands of units every hour. Every crane, every vehicle, every gate reader depends on reliable connectivity, and a Wi-Fi dead zone or radio interference event costs real money.
Remote crane operations require consistent, low-latency connectivity. Wi-Fi and congested public LTE introduce signal delays and jitter that cause safety shutdowns and throughput losses.
Container yards, berths, and inland depots span kilometers. Public mobile coverage is inconsistent at the water edge, and deploying and maintaining Wi-Fi infrastructure across that area is unmanageable.
Gate automation, vessel tracking, yard management, and CCTV all run on separate networks with no central visibility. Incidents take longer to detect, and integration between systems is manual and error-prone.
What We Enable
Our Private 5G platform converges every operational system, from quay cranes to gate access, onto a single managed network with guaranteed QoS per application.
Low latency 5G for remote quay crane control, consistent, interference-free, with dedicated network priority so crane communications are never competing with other traffic on the network.
4K CCTV across berths, yards, and gate lanes, streamed over 5G to a central control room. Integrated with OCR and licence plate recognition for automated gate processing.
Real-time location of containers, trailers, and equipment across the full yard, fed by 5G-connected IoT tags and forklift telemetry into your TOS without any manual scanning.
Vessel coordination, shift handovers, and emergency response over 3GPP push-to-talk, replacing handheld radio systems with a single converged voice channel across the full terminal.
How It Works
From site survey to go-live to 24/7 managed operations, we own the full lifecycle so your ops team doesn't have to.
What a Deployment Covers
A typical port deployment covers quay cranes at the berth, the full container yard, gate lanes, and inland depot areas, all connected to a single private core with network slicing to guarantee QoS for crane control, video, and voice independently.
Everything your team needs to evaluate Private 5G for your terminal, use cases, deployment architecture, integration with TOS and gate systems, and ROI benchmarks.
