MPS-TEMA Wi-Fi Expansion and Maintenance
- Service : Super Wi-Fi
Client:
- Meridian Port Services (MPS)
Location:
- Tema Port, Ghana
Sector:
- Maritime Logistics / Container Terminal Operations
Overview:
To support the expansion of Container Terminal 3 and meet rising operational demands, a comprehensive upgrade and expansion of the terminal-wide Wi-Fi network was delivered. The objective was to ensure seamless wireless connectivity, enable real-time operational coordination, and build a resilient digital infrastructure capable of supporting future growth and innovation.
Scope of Work:
Extended Wireless Coverage Across the Terminal
- New wireless units were deployed to eliminate dead zones and extend coverage across critical operational zones, including yard blocks, RTG paths, and gate areas.
- Existing access points were tuned and upgraded to improve network responsiveness and stability.
Strengthened Network Control & Management
A new wireless controller was integrated to enable centralized network management, seamless roaming, and efficient load balancing across devices and applications.
Power Redundancy for Continuous Operation
• Outdoor UPS systems were installed at key locations to ensure uninterrupted service even during power fluctuations—essential for 24/7 terminal operations.
Performance Monitoring & Optimization
• Post-deployment optimization and live monitoring tools were introduced to maintain consistent performance and provide operational teams with real-time visibility into the network.
Onsite Infrastructure Upgrades
- Outdoor equipment was mounted with durable, weather-resistant hardware to withstand harsh port conditions, and cabling was reorganized for easier maintenance and fault tracing.
Operational Impact:
- Uninterrupted Yard Operations: High-speed wireless coverage ensures stable communication for crane operations, vehicle tracking, and handheld terminal access.
- Real-Time System Performance: Enhanced visibility and centralized control lead to faster troubleshooting and proactive management.
- Power-Resilient Infrastructure: UPS backup ensures that essential wireless connectivity is always available—even during power cuts.
- Scalable for Growth: The network foundation is ready to support future expansions, additional automation systems, and advanced IoT applications.
