Global Container Terminals will use vehicle-mounted routers from Fidelity Comtech at its redeveloped terminal in New Jersey.

Colorado-based wireless network specialist Fidelity Comtech has won an order to install its WiFi Network and mobile client bridge hardware at Yusen Terminals Inc (YTI) in Los Angeles.

Générale de Manutention Portuaire (GMP), a joint venture between DP World and CMA CGM, has installed a WiMESH network from Luceor at two terminals in Le Havre. The terminals have a total capacity of 1.3M TEU and a combined quay length of 2400m.

Wireless LAN technology continues to evolve and two of the most recent developments are Voice Over wireless LAN and mesh networks, both of which offer opportunities in port applications.

As is well known spread spectrum 802.11b wireless LANs can transmit much more data than narrowband systems, but more access points are required to achieve the same site coverage. The infrastructure calls for costly civil works, such as trenching for electricity and Ethernet backhaul, towers and so on and can cause considerable disruption to operations.
