    I am not sure but maybe this can give a hint as to how high speed wireless data transfer can be helpful: https://www.ericsson.com/en/cases/2019/5g-smart-harbor-at-the-port-of-qingdao

    The 5G connection included data traffic from more than 30 high-definition cameras as well as control data for a programmable logic controller (PLC). These operations required millisecond-level latency control signals, as well as stable, remote and real-time control, requirements which only key 5G technologies can deliver.

    The field trial confirmed the feasibility and potential of 5G applications for the development of smart harbors, and as a result, Ericsson, China Unicom and other partners have agreed to jointly explore commercial 5G networks and solutions for smart harbors that include both automated harbors and the modernization of traditional harbors.

    It’s not just meant for end users.

      It sounds like the latency is really important here and not necessarily the bandwidth. That makes sense.
