“It is possible to slice a Private LTE network, so that several virtual subnets can be made in the same network. In this case, Konecranes can be one of the players in the port operator's network, in a dedicated and secure environment. This, combined with edge computing, allows us to create added value for the customer when we can open interfaces to our services directly to the customer”

“Now, however, we no longer have to wait for it (5G), but we can already reach the network capacity needs we are planning for the future with the Private LTE network and we can already test solutions. The network architecture is also the same, so the things that are done in private LTE also work in private 5G”

”Edzcom was really the only one that provided what we needed. Yes, the public telecom operators would have built a network for us, but our remotely controlled drills have limited resistance to delays and interruptions, and the solution we got from Edzcom gave us the stability and performance we needed to keep our operations running"

“Previously it was not possible to prove the condition in which containers arrived to, and departed from the harbor. Now we can, if needed, establish the status and state of incoming containers and insurance responsibility thanks to the cameras in the cranes. The connectivity also covers our terminals and the rest of the port area, enabling efficient communication for logistics and asset tracking”

“WiFi is challenging to implement when building expandable outdoor areas, and the expandability and scalability of private LTE in this type of wireless environment is an absolute advantage. In addition, the use of the network and the allocation of its capacity are entirely in our own hands. For these reasons, we have ended up with a private LTE network instead of a public network”
