Finland’s 814 VTT Technical Research Centre has been selected to test and develop an advanced wireless network for PSA Singapore Terminals (PSA), the world’s largest trans-shipment hub.

The network will strengthen PSA’s management of innovative unmanned systems, including automated guided vehicles (AGV), which are currently being developed.

PSA will be able to command and control its AGV fleet reliably and safely, through a robust wireless mesh network, which consists of a group of wireless devices which can boost the reliability and connectivity of the grid by relaying and distributing data traffic from other devices within the network.
