Business Wire
Airspan Networks Holdings Inc., a provider of ground-breaking,
disruptive software and hardware for 5G networks and a pioneer in
end-to-end Open RAN solutions is thrilled to announce our
collaboration with Semco Maritime to enhance connectivity in wind
turbines. This partnership will be showcased at the "Offshore
Digitalisation Workshop" hosted by Semco Maritime from June 11th to
13th, 2024, at their headquarters in Esbjerg, Denmark.
Wind turbines, with tower bases reaching up to 6 meters (20
feet) in diameter—comparable to the width of a city bus—and heights
of over 100 meters (328 feet), roughly equivalent to a 30-story
building, require robust internal connectivity for operational
efficiency and worker safety. Reliable, secure, and mobile 5G
connectivity is essential to monitor and manage the performance of
these massive structures.
Modern wind turbines house critical components and systems that
must be continuously monitored. Small cell radio units, like those
developed by Airspan, are pivotal in ensuring seamless connectivity
within these structures. This technology allows for real-time
performance monitoring, fault detection, and enhances safety
protocols for workers.
Semco Maritime, a renowned system integrator with extensive
experience in offshore and maritime solutions, is instrumental in
assembling the comprehensive connectivity solution. "Our
collaboration with Airspan brings state-of-the-art connectivity
solutions to the forefront of wind turbine technology, ensuring
safety and operational excellence," said Brian Boye, Senior Sales
Manager at Semco Maritime. "We are excited to demonstrate these
advancements at our upcoming workshop."
During the workshop, Airspan and Semco Maritime will conduct a
live demo showcasing several use cases utilizing 5G Airspan radios.
These include connecting new safety devices, such as a
defibrillator, enabling immediate communication with onshore
doctors, demonstrating critical communications using MCX software
for UEs MCPTT (Mission Critical Push-To-Talk) communications, and
deploying drones to monitor wind turbines. These scenarios
highlight the critical role of reliable connectivity in ensuring
operational efficiency and safety within wind turbines.
"We are proud to partner with Semco Maritime to deliver reliable
and secure connectivity solutions for wind turbines," said Henrik
Smith-Petersen, CSMO at Airspan. "Our 5G technology ensures that
these towering structures operate smoothly and safely, providing
essential support for the renewable energy sector."
