Case Study Port of Kiel Partnered with Airspan to Build its Campus Private 5G Network to Support its Operations & Digital Transformation Industry Logistics Location Kiel, Germany Partner HMF Smart Solutions End User Port of Kiel Download PDF Reference Overview The PORT OF KIEL, a significant Baltic Sea port and logistics hub, partnered with HMF Smart Solutions and Airspan to deploy a 5G campus networks across its two key terminals, Ostuferhafen and Schwedenkai. This advanced infrastructure will serve as a backbone for the port’s digital transformation, optimizing cargo handling, traffic control, and logistics operations through real-time data transmissions. Funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI), the project aims to streamline roll-on/roll-off traffic and boost overall operational efficiency. Challenges Handling 7.9 million tons of cargo annually requires advanced systems to efficiently coordinate traffic, goods handling, and logistics processes. In addition, the large 564,000 square meter port facility needed seamless connectivity to manage both indoor and outdoor operations without interruptions. However, the existing infrastructure and network systems could not meet the demands of modern digital logistics, such as the need for real-time communication and data-driven decision-making. Solution & Benefits HMF Smart Solutions deployed a comprehensive 5G campus network, integrating over 25 indoor and outdoor base stations to cover the 564,000 square meter PORT OF KIEL. This infrastructure enables real-time communication and optimization of cargo and vehicle movements, improving operational efficiency and reducing delays. Seamlessly integrated with the port’s existing systems, the 5G network supports future expansions and technological innovations, positioning the port for continued digital transformation and maintaining its leadership in European logistics.

Case Study Seaport Wismar Partnered with Cocus & Airspan to Build its Private 5G Network to Improve its Terminals & Services Industry Logistics Location Wismar, Germany Partner Cocus End User Seaport Wismar Download PDF Reference 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. Solution & 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’ in-house 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.
