"Hutchison Ports UK has completed the deployment of a private 5G network across the Port of Felixstowe, Harwich International Port and London Thamesport, creating what it claims is one of the most advanced industrial connectivity platforms in the country. The Port of Felixstowe is the UK's largest and busiest container port, with Harwich International and London Thamesport forming part of the same operational hub under the Hutchison Ports umbrella."
"A key driver for the upgrade is Hutchison Ports' major roll-out plan to introduce autonomous, electric trucks at the Port of Felixstowe, replacing a significant proportion of the existing diesel fleet. These vehicles demand continuous connectivity, very low latency for safe remote intervention, and the bandwidth to support multiple live video feeds when operators need to inspect a situation in detail."
"Delivered by Three Group Solutions, it will provide "ultra-reliable", high-capacity and low-latency connectivity to support large-scale automation, including autonomous trucks, remote-controlled cranes and data-rich applications that are central to the ports' digital transformation plans. By delivering a single private 5G network that spans all three sites, Three Group Solutions said it was strengthening the resilience and performance of critical national infrastructure while helping Hutchison Ports increase efficiency, enhance safety and support long-term sustainability objectives."
The private 5G network was deployed across the Port of Felixstowe, Harwich International and London Thamesport, forming an advanced industrial connectivity platform. Hutchison Ports plans to introduce autonomous electric trucks at Felixstowe, replacing much of the diesel fleet; these vehicles require continuous connectivity, very low latency for safe remote intervention, and bandwidth for multiple live video feeds. The existing 4G system cannot meet those demands at scale. Delivered by Three Group Solutions, the network provides ultra-reliable, high-capacity, low-latency connectivity to enable autonomous trucks, remote-controlled cranes and data-rich applications. The rollout used a staged migration built in parallel with 4G using different radio blocks.
