VTT to develop advanced wireless network for world’s largest trans-shipment hub

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is 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, a group of wireless devices which can boost the reliability and conne

PSA will be able to command and control its AGV fleet reliably and safely, through a robust wireless mesh network, 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. These and other features can also be applied in similar places, such as railway yards and automated storage areas.
