Nearly overnight, the global pandemic shifted commerce from in-store to online. Groceries, meals, appliances, home office equipment and nearly anything else needed to live and work suddenly flooded the delivery infrastructure, putting massive pressure on warehouses, railroads, ground freight companies, shipping companies, local delivery companies and others to deliver more goods, faster.
The overwhelming demand for rapid shipment has spurred transportation and logistics companies to find opportunities to streamline and automate processes with cost-effective solutions that can be rapidly deployed to exceed expectations, including:
A key bottleneck in speeding up delivery is operational processes anchored in legacy communications infrastructure with restricted bandwidth and capabilities. Many transportation and logistics companies, already overloaded before the pandemic, did not have the network, device data, or analytics to rapidly evolve their operations
By deploying a private 5G/LTE network, transportation and logistics companies can realize the benefit of dramatically increased sensor and device density, communications bandwidth, speed, reliability, and security. A private cellular 5G/LTE network enables many opportunities to transform your business to keep pace, allowing businesses to deploy:
In addition, a private 5G/LTE network improves connectivity to container ships and other vessels at sea and in port for asset tracking, accountability, and remote tracking. The same goes for rolling stock on railroads, freight trucks in transit or in loading dock, air cargo en route, or any other mode of transportation and logistics.
And, with the bandwidth to capture and disseminate data in real time, transportation and logistics companies can leverage cloud computing, big data analytics and AI to develop solutions such as:
