System Design Process For All Ports / Terminals
• Many different design iterations may become possible as requirements and information become available.
• A combination of actual site surveys, design, planning, should be part of the project timeline.
• System design adjustments will be needed if the RF simulation test does not meet coverage expectations.

Customer Conduct the RF Simulation System Design

System Design Process
(RASCI Matrix and Stakeholder Management)
A vital part of the project kick-off
meeting is to understand who the
project stakeholders are, and their
respective roles and deliverables.

Network Layout (Fluidity (Mobility) Network)
All mobile units in a terminal are called ‘Vehicles’ and make up the Mobility network.
• STS Cranes, reach stackers, terminal tractors, straddle carriers, RTGs, and more.
Their radio hardware is called the ‘On-board network system’. A mobility network radio can:
• Have hardware redundancy and fast failover.
• Be equipped with single or dual radios.
• Be equipped with omnidirectional or unidirectional antennas, depending on operational area, and the type
of application running on the vehicle.

Network Layout (Mobility Network)
A mobility network radio may need coverage at any point in the terminal, depending on where Cisco
Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul base stations are located.

A mobility network radio may need to accommodate multiple data streams at the same time (for
example, TOS, video, VoIP, PLC and PROFINET).

• The single-radio with dual antenna design offers

coverage in two directions but divides the overall

Network Structure
(Omnidirectional & Unidirectional Antennas | Access & Mobility)
Within An Access Network
Omnidirectional antennas are well-suited:
• For TOSs and other applications with modest bandwidth needs.
• For projects making use of a single radio frequency.
• To cover large areas from multiple directions using relatively low signal
strengths.
• To short-distance operation.
• For vehicles that change their orientation through 360°.
Unidirectional antennas are well-suited:
• For OCR, automation, and other applications needing greater connection
reliability.
• STS Cranes
• For projects making use of more than one radio frequency.
• To mixed-application projects.
• To long-distance operation.
• For areas where omnidirectional antennas might cause radio interference.

High-level System Design
The following factors must be taken into account when
beginning a new system design.

The port/terminal application:

• TOS
• OCR
• Automation
• Mixed applications

The active areas within the terminal that need coverage

depend on the type of application taking place in each
relevant area.

A comprehensive map of the terminal is needed, showing

the following information:
• The location and height of all available light poles.
• Which poles have fiber drop links near by.
• Expected locations, numbers and types of moving
vehicles needing connectivity.

High-level System Design
The following factors must be considered when
beginning a new system design:

The overall project budget, taking the following into account:

• Any need for Mesh-end failover.
• Whether a single or dual-radio design is needed.
• Any need for Access network failover.
• The available radio spectrum on site.

(Radio-density Based RF Planning)
• The design can utilize two or more frequencies, based on radio density per area
and the types of applications running on the system.
• Terminal tractors and reach stackers can use multi-frequency setups.

High-level System Design (RF Planning)
System RF planning
• The system may use two or more radio channels, based on the result of the RF study.
• Tele-remote and OCR operations must use channels separate from the rest of the system.
Document each location where radio hardware will be installed
• All light poles and moving vehicles specified during the design phase must have unique names.
• A list containing these names will save time during installation, operation and troubleshooting.
