The IP/MPLS-based network, will provide ’K’ LINE with a FAN
environment that delivers high-speed, secure, encrypted wireless communications
between ship and shore. It will enable application of a range of new efficient
digital services such as CCTV and high-speed data transfer for remote monitoring
of onload/offload work and remote visual inspection of machinery when the
vessel is in port in Japan or overseas.
Hiroshi Uchida, Head of AI Digitalization Strategy Group,
’K’LINE, said: “Working with Nokia, we
plan to accelerate the development and utilization of advanced digital
technologies that enable safer, world-class shipping services. With the Nokia
4G/LTE network, we will be able to communicate more effectively during
berthing, using the same sophisticated technology as available on land. This creates
the capability to deliver improved operational performance, skills transfer and
safety management.”
Donny Janssens, Head of Customer Team, Nokia Enterprise
Japan, said: “Through deployment of the field area network, we’re helping ‘K’
LINE not only to enhance operational efficiency and industrial safety but also
to advance its digital transformation. This is the first Nokia 4G/LTE FAN
deployment in Japan, bringing it to a new market following its successful
deployment in mining sites, electric grids and ports worldwide.”
The solution comprises the Nokia 7705 SAR-Hm LTE router for
on-board installation, as well as the Nokia 7705 SAR-8 for use onshore. This
router pairing supports video and data transfer from the ship’s onboard CCTV
and IT systems over LTE connections when in port. This FAN solution will enable
‘K’ LINE to closely monitor loading and unloading in real time, and to
significantly reduce time needed for large file exchange during port calls.
All data is protected by Nokia’s Network Group Encryption
(NGE). This encrypted communication technology protects MPLS services with
minimal overhead and ensures a high level of security and quality of service
without any degradation of LTE link performance.
The domestic communication lines will be provided by KDDI
Corporation and the system integration will be provided by KCCS Mobile
Engineering Co., Ltd.
