Overview
Seaport Wismar partnered with Cocus to build their P5G network based
on Open Ran technology. Seaport Wismar is a Port logistics in the Baltic
Sea region. This project funded by Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and
Transport with 4.1 million euros until 2024 to test various 5G applications
for German ports. This will also serve as a proof-of-concept for Portable
5G, a framework that theorized that mobile P5G network architecture will
lead to the advancement of industrial sectors.

Challenges
The scope of the project involves process optimization in real-time
dispatching with the local companies, automated loading of bulk carriers
and autonomous driving on the harbor premises in the indoor and
outdoor areas. The required area of network coverage is approximately
60ha.

Solutions & Benefits Cocus managed the whole project from strategizing to implementation. To build the P5G network, Cocus worked with other third party service providers like Airspan, FibroLAN, Rhode & Schwarz. Cocus relied on Airspan’s Open RAN technology which was compatible to Cocus’ inhouse developed core networking system. This proved Airspan’s Open RAN’s flexibility in terms of integration to core network systems other than its usual discretion on
vendor-based mobile internet services. The deployment was a success. With the upgrade of Seaport Wismar to P5G network architecture, it has more efficient multi-purpose terminals and offers a diverse range of port-specific services such as project cargo, general cargo and bulk cargo that are handled via the terminals. Seaport Wismar now manages its own network infrastructure and terminals. Another advantage of this this project is that its notion of Portable 5.0 came to reality which sparked the adaptation of P5G to German industry.
