Elevating safety at the Port of Tauranga
New Zealand's busiest port embraces digital future
Poor coverage and connections had left the Port of Tauranga open to communication failure. A robust workflow leveraging the MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus solution has given the port the reliability they require.
Site-wide coverage strengthens communications
An investment in Motorola Solution’s next generation of digital infrastructure has unified voice communications, data, analytics, recording and location capabilities. Reliable radio coverage has expanded across the site, driving improved safety and efficiency.

The challenge
Surrounded by 16,000 steel shipping containers stacked 10 - 25 meters high, communication between staff at the Port of Tauranga was challenging. Their mixed fleet of analogue and digital radios delivered scratchy call quality and weak audio volume, and they had no means of relaying site-wide safety announcements. Under the traditional radio management method it was also very time-consuming and expensive to manually update 300 radios with configuration changes simultaneously.
The solution
With the support of our partner, Mobicomm, we delivered the port our scalable, single-site MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus trunking solution - with six SLR5000 repeaters and 12 simultaneous time slots.
The MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus solution was implemented with existing MOTOTRBO systems via a simple software upgrade. Radio coverage has significantly improved, enhancing communication, safety and efficiency.
The system facilitates trunking for up to 12 digital voice talk paths, 24 dedicated data paths and as many as 1,200 radio users - without the port needing to purchase additional radio licenses.
GPS-enabled location services, text messaging and telemetry are all available on the same system.
Users can communicate in any location, at any volume, even in noisy backgrounds.
System-wide calling enables communication to all staff simultaneously.
Devices can quickly deploy new channels, updates and configurations as required.
"By bringing voice, data, analytics and software management onto a single unified platform, activities at Port Tauranga have become safer and more secure."
