7 Value of radio voice communications in 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.infrastructureportable radiosmobile 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 when alarm occurs

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

16 Challenge oPeople hesitate to accept change oChange of user behavior
