Private 5G provides wireless coverage in every corner for Dream Island Container Terminal

Established in 2004 in Osaka and jointly funded by seven logistics companies, Dream Island Container Terminal Co., Ltd. (DICT) manages container terminals C-10 to C-12 at Yumeshima. Across this vast operating environment, the existing mix of 4.9 GHz and Wi-Fi created communication interruptions and required users to switch between wireless connections. DICT moved to a unified private 5G system to create high-speed, secure coverage across the terminal while keeping operating cost under control.

Annual savings

Over $200,000 in operating cost savings.

Terminal coverage

Wireless access reaches every corner of DICT.

Connection continuity

Communication interruptions resolved.

SIM-based security

Authentication protects access to logistics data.

Private 5G provides wireless coverage in every corner for DICT

A unified private 5G environment replaces fragmented terminal connectivity with one secure wireless foundation for operational communication and video-enabled inspection.

Across a vast container terminal, switching between networks can interrupt the flow of information at the moments when operations need it most.

Objectives

DICT needed high-speed wireless data communication across terminals C-10 to C-12 at Yumeshima without performance being affected by traffic from other users. The network also had to protect confidential logistics data, allow teams to stay connected through a single device without switching between wireless technologies, and provide a cost-effective basis for day-to-day terminal operations.

Opportunity

With managed private 5G in place, DICT can build on the network as an operating layer for connected terminal workflows. The source identifies automated remote instructions for container transportation orders as a planned next step and points to broader deployment across container terminals in Japan. Together, these directions create a path from reliable connectivity toward more coordinated movement across the yard, while keeping the timing and scope of future rollout subject to validation.

One terminal, multiple connectivity constraints

A large container operation needed continuous data access across a wide physical footprint without carrying forward the limitations of mixed wireless technologies.

Key Challenges

1. Coverage across a vast terminal:
High-speed wireless communication had to reach the full operating area, including container terminals C-10 to C-12.

2. Interrupted multi-network access:
The combination of 4.9 GHz and Wi-Fi required users to switch connection types and contributed to communication interruptions.

3. Protected logistics data:
The new environment needed strong access controls for confidential logistics information and connectivity unaffected by other users' traffic.

4. Remote visual inspection:
Container-damage inspection required remote support using high-definition video within the terminal environment.

Solution

A unified private 5G foundation for terminal operations

NTT delivered end-to-end integration around a managed private 5G service, combining scalable connectivity, terminal devices and video-enabled inspection support.

Scalable terminal coverage

A private 5G service capable of connecting numerous base stations extends wireless access across the terminal footprint.

One managed wireless environment

The transition from 4.9 GHz and Wi-Fi to managed private 5G gives teams a unified connection supported by private 5G customer premises equipment and tablets.

SIM-authenticated access

SIM-based authentication strengthens control over access to the private network and the logistics data carried through it.

High-definition inspection support

A 5G-enabled AI camera solution supports remote container-damage inspection using high-definition video.

Impact

Continuous connectivity with measurable cost value

The unified private 5G system resolved communication interruptions at DICT and generated annual operating cost savings of more than $200,000, according to the source presentation. SIM-based authentication added a robust access-control layer, while high-definition video supports remote container-damage inspection.
