Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA)'s Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) has put a 5G network into operation in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom and Ericsson as part of the PROCON-5G project.
The network, which supports key logistics processes and real-time applications, and forms the basis for a digital testing environment for innovations in the port, has been serving an area of over one square kilometer since the end of May 2026.
The 5G network was specifically designed to meet the needs of a highly automated container terminal. It connects vehicles, sensors, mobile devices, and IT systems in a real-time network. The architecture, based on the Ericsson Private 5G Campus solution, ensures stable and high-performance communication even with intensive use.
Furthermore, it offers flexible scalability, both within the facilities and for future applications or additional areas. The network operates as a dedicated campus 5G network, independent of the public mobile network, within the locally assigned frequency spectrum.
The radio network planning and the tender process were carried out with the support of Zentrum für Digitale Entwicklung GmbH (ZDE). Lufthansa Industry Solutions (LHIND) was responsible for project management, while Hamburg Port Consulting GmbH (HPC) managed the financing.
PROCON-5G is part of the "Digitale Testfelder in Häfen" (Digital Test Fields in Ports) funding program. This initiative by the German Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV) supports the development of digital infrastructures for testing innovative technologies. The project sponsor is TÜV Rheinland.
