Tiivistelmä
The objective of the thesis was to offer research insights concerning the frequency scanning within the harbour area for the port of Kotka, Mussalo. The focus was on reporting and addressing the issues in different frequency bands operating in the harbour. The structure of the thesis begins with a literature review of the 5G technology, where all the essential facts are explained. The second part recognises the cybersecurity issues concerning 5G networking, followed by the major contribution of this thesis project i.e., assessment of the 5G implementation plan; frequency scanning in the port of Kotka, Mussalo.
The research methodology employed quantitative assessments to conduct multiple frequency measurements within the harbour to find out how the harbour area is affected by different frequency bands and exploration of the possible causes for unexpected interference incidents that happened within the port area.
The frequency scanning verified that the port of Kotka, Mussalo has optimal conditions to build the 5G network within the spring of 2021, given that the different networks operating within and affecting the harbour area are unimpacted by any unwanted actions. However, the interference incidents (i.e., the connection losses) reported previously within the harbour were not faced during the study. Also, since during the scanning period, enough ship traffic was not encountered, the only likely cause of interference incidents identified is the ship landing and leaving because of the radar systems used.
Although due to lack of interference incidents the third goal was not achieved, the thesis successfully achieved the first and second goal by introducing the basic elements and operations of 5G networking and finding out the frequency bands operating in the harbour area.
