Most mobile systems utilise wireless data communication in one form or another. ITS systems such as G-POS and E-SMART are developed to utilise a range of common Wireless data infrastructures. For these ITS are able to provide the right technical solution for the terminals circumstances. We are able to offer a narrow band solution operating in the 380 to 480 MHz frequency band or can utilize existing WIFI backbones already installed.
The ITS Narrow Band (NB) Data communication system can also be installed as a standalone system providing a low cost, minimal infrastructure wireless data communication system for the port.
Due to the robustness of the data link and good data propagation our narrow band solutions have been implemented on many terminals. The systems are ideal for terminals where a 380 to 480 MHz dedicated frequency user license is available. Range can be up to 10 Km and is ideal in difficult RF environments such as in container stacks.
The system is based on a Radio Network Server (RNS) middleware component that runs on a standard desktop PC. This connects to all the mobile units via a single transmitter and does not require any distributed access points or repeaters.
The RNS interfaces are implemented to suit the integration requirements of your infrastructure. This could be Serial data, a TCP IP connection or XML interface. We have connected to various Terminal Operating Systems (TOS) and using our extended MRS middleware components can connect to security systems, maintenance reporting systems, and many other systems.
The system can be provided with a variety of mobile formats, all running a Windows embedded operating system to allow customisable mobile user interfaces. What is presented to the mobile user is born of years of input from terminal operators. Yard handling requires an easy to understand interface with minimal operator key strokes, or better still fully automated. Our touch screen interfaces provide this simplicity, with full functionality to support the operational requirements. The STS Interface option for vessel load and discharge has full flexibility with features such as load and discharge lists, twin lift tools, berthing and chassis loading settings.
