”We selected a browser based WLAN solution because of versatility
and efficiency. We want to have the same application for forklift mounted
PCs, portable terminals and workstations. Signal Networks has the
know-how for port solutions; they were the best company to deliver
a turnkey solution”, Ketola comments.

needs. Cisco network hardware possesses excellent functionality and

says Signal Networks CEO Pekka Laitinen.
The entire Port of Rauma is covered by an indoor and outdoor WLAN.
The basis of the solution are Cisco ACS authentication servers (2 units),
Cisco WLSE monitoring servers (1 unit) for network appliance control
and Citrix MetaFrame servers (2 units) for terminal administration. To
cover the entire Port of Rauma and its buildings, 116 units of Cisco
Aironet 1200 Access Points were installed. The selected antennae were
LXE Spires, of which there are two per access point using a diversity
antenna setting.

“By utilizing diversity antenna settings, we were able to expand access
point range to its most extensive, and retain a stable link also on the
perimeters of the network. To access points with no network cable
access, we created links using Cisco 350 Wireless Bridges”, points out
Cisco systems engineer Tomi Järventie.

Selected as the vehicle terminal was the Linux based LXE VX3-12
forklift mounted PC. The operating system was designed in a way which
requires no IT skills from users. The Symbol MC9000-G was selected
as the portable terminal.

Increased efficiency and usability
The Rauma Stevedoring port network is Finland’s largest mobile terminal
WLAN solution used in a 24/7 critical business environment. The new
system is more reliable, faster and more extensive than previously. The
technology also meets future needs. The process approach eliminates
overlap and makes resource usage more efficient.

Usability was also improved. The browser based system provides users
with WLAN terminals which are faster, lighter, and have larger color

”A browser based system with a graphic interface is more intuitive to
use, and does not require extensive IT training. Thus, when training
users we can concentrate on production applications”, Ketola points

”Rauma Stevedoring’s IT department played a significant role in this
project. The challenges were met together, and cooperation is easy. The
project support included Cisco Finland contact people and technical
experts. The best is of course the result; a hundred per cent reliable
WLAN covering the entire port area”, says Laitinen of Signal Networks.

When browsers are fully introduced, the network will be expanded on
the terminal side. Early next year, 140 more forklift mounted PCs and
40-50 handheld terminals will be deployed. Another future consideration
is the utilization of the network for other use, including IP Telephony
and geographical location.
