7. Value of radio voice communicationsin seaports • Provides a communication mean between quay crane and yard crane operators, yard personnel, quayside and on-board workers, gatehouse and control tower. • During facilities & equipment maintenance, engineering teams need to liaise with users and team members to ensure services can be brought back to their normal working condition at the shortest time. • An important tool to receive first hand information to react instantaneously to changes in yard activities. • When potential risk is observed, radio voice communication is an immediate communication channel to prevent accident and maintain a safe environment.

8. Weakness of conventional system • Signal Interference • Low spectrum efficiency • Insufficient capacity • Difficult to transmit data • Therefore…….

9. MTL’s radio communication needs • Safety • Reliability • Robustness

10. Why TETRA • Digital system • Trunked system • Open system • Secure System • Data capability • Scalability • Better system management • Government supported move

11. New radio communication system • Motorola was awarded the contract to supply Modern Terminals with a 800MHz TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked RAdio)-based digital communication system – to provide both voice and data capabilities. • This contract marked the first TETRA project for the seaport industry in Asia. • The solution comprises of infrastructure, portable radios and mobile radios.

12. System Configuration • Number of Channels: • 3 transceivers support 12 channels (i.e. 1 transceiver supports 4 channels) • 11 Traffic Channels • 1 Control Channel • Coverage • The whole MTL Container Terminal, Terminal 125 & Terminal 9 (South)

13. System Configuration • Redundant transceiver • Redundant controller • Redundant power supply • System supported by UPS • Resilient site design to avoid total system breakdown

14. Enhancement • We have installed alarm sensors to monitor following items • Temperature • Power supply • Equipment • Help Center will be informed via e-mail when alarm occurs

15. Enhancement • Program has been developed to analyse the channel utilization and individual talkgroup utilization

16. Challenge • People hesitate to accept change • Change of user behavior
