Singtel and Ericsson to deploy 5G network at Tuas Port in Singapore

Singtel and Ericsson have announced a partnership to deploy 5G advanced connectivity solutions at Tuas Port in support of PSA Singapore’s plans to build the world’s largest fully automated port by the 2040s to meet the rapidly rising demand for global transhipment. 

Existing automated vehicles deployed at the port, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs), will be upgraded to 5G to enhance real-time shipment tracking and further streamline crane operations to enable seamless transportation of cargo from berth to ships and vice versa. 

To support these enhancements, Singtel will activate a network slice from its 5G network to provide the dedicated resources, such as high speeds, high bandwidth, and low latency, needed for mission-critical applications to run smoothly around the clock.
