Europe's first smart rail port managed using a dedicated 5G network - the East-West Gate Yard Station in Hungary - was opened on the 18th.
According to the report, the 5G network required for the project was built by Vodafone Hungary, and the network equipment was provided by the operator's Hungarian subsidiary.
Located in Fenešlítké in northeastern Hungary, the East-West Gate Yard Station covers an area of 85 hectares, with a total investment of more than 40 billion forints (about $95.3 million), and is the largest intelligent intermodal railroad hub in Europe, as well as the first railroad port in Europe to use a dedicated 5G network for internal communications and networked management of technical equipment.
The 5G technology is used to remotely control fully automated gantry cranes for intelligent loading and unloading operations, capable of handling one million TEUs per year.
Speaking at the inauguration of the yard, Janos Talosi, CEO of East-West Intermodal Logistics, said that the application of 5G technology will make transportation at the yard faster and more accurate.
According to the company, the fully automated gantry crane at the East-West Gate yard station is equipped with 20 high-resolution cameras. With the advantages of 5G technology high speed, low latency, and large capacity, the staff only need to sit in the central control room with the help of 5G transmission of high-definition video can remotely complete the operation, not only the working environment has been improved, but the operational efficiency has also been greatly enhanced.
The main function of the East-West Gate Yard Station is to transfer railroad cargo from Asia and Europe. According to the report, starting in November, the yard station is expected to handle 800 tons of grain and 450 cubic meters of sunflower oil per hour.
With the official operation of the East-West Gate Yard Station, combined with the international railroads that have been opened now and will be opened in the future, a new way of transportation between China and Europe will be built, and a new pattern of land-sea intermodal transportation will be created.
At the same time promoting the new development of the international cycle of mutual promotion, is also an important opportunity for countries to get out of the technical equipment, break the international blockade, ensure high-quality development and efficient operation of international logistics and transport, and to prove their strength in the international arena.
5G is the fifth generation of cell phone action communication standard, also known as the fifth generation of mobile communication technology, 5G has three main features: high speed, high capacity, and low latency. 5G can bring benefits to people's lives mainly faster Internet speed, the widespread use of cloud technology, the development of the Internet of Things, the maturity of driverless technology, and the development of VR.
1. Faster Internet speed: To give you an example, it will take less than 1 second to download an HD movie using 5G.
2, the widespread use of cloud technology: 4G may still mainly solve the Internet to watch movies, chat and play games, but 5G is more to solve the data problem. High speed is very important for cloud technology, and future data can be uploaded to the cloud.
3, the development of the Internet of things: the Internet of things and cloud computing, like the rate and capacity of the large. 5G development, the Internet of things terminal devices will also change accordingly, smart cities, smart homes, logistics, and so on will also be more intelligent.
4. Maturity of driverless technology: 5G has a great feature of low latency. This is crucial for autonomous driving and promotes the maturity of driverless technology.
5, the development of VR: VR technology is not yet mature, after the experience will find that some VR helmets will give people a sense of vertigo, and the longer time to play, the heavier this vertigo. This is actually because the speed of data transmission can't keep up with the reaction time of our brain and eyes, which produces a time difference. 5G's low latency enables VR's development bottleneck to break through.
