4. 4
THE PORT INDUSTRY:
Global Proportions
There are over 4,900 ports spread throughout 196 of the world’s countries.
Significant concentration of ports in USA (west coast, east coast, gulf),
Europe (northern, Mediterranean, Iberian) and East Asia.
5. 5
OPERATIONAL REALITIES:
Port Communications Challenges
Complex, massive, aging infrastructure
Multiple, disparate networks meeting
different security and operational needs
Enormous volume of large, constantly moving
containers that can create interference and
restrict signal range
Security concerns, with terrorists knowing
that striking a port facility can significantly
impair a nation’s economy
Harsh coastal environments with extreme
weather and temperatures
Outgrown wired infrastructure – wired build-
outs and laying cable are not feasible in
commissioned ports
Meeting tenants’ varied needs to safely and
efficiently move cargo on and off ships, repair
vessels, and adequately supply ship
Diverse community of users involved in
operations require secure, anytime-anywhere
access to data, voice, and video
Need for real-time information to direct the
flow of goods, personnel, and vehicles
6. 6
OPERATIONAL REALITIES:
The Security Factor
Ports already have layered security systems that
could include fencing, sensors, access control, CCTV,
radar, sonar, and land and waterside patrols.
But, security is becoming more complex, and with
more people, equipment, and thousands of TEUs
passing through each day, inspection of every
container is impossible.
So how are ports using technology to create better
situational awareness, reduce losses and damage, and
speed first response when issues do occur?
Automating security processes with UAVs,
UGVs, and video surveillance.
Port Fourchon in Louisiana provides port police
with remote access to the 1,700-acre port’s IP
video surveillance cameras in their vehicles.
The UAV / LIDAR market is expected to increase by 20% –
or by $1 billion – by 2020.
Abu Dhabi’s ports are using drones to strengthen
security with monitoring of difficult to access locations.
As of June 2017, three separate companies are
now testing UGVs in Boston’s Seaport District.
The world UGV market is expected to grow by a CAGR
of 30% to 2019.
7. 7
THE PORT ENVIRONMENT:
Many Moving Assets
Ports must deal with an ever-
increasing number of workers,
ships, containers, equipment,
and vehicles moving in, out,
and across their environment.
