CNIT is committed in the implementation of more efficient processes and the reorganization of technologies in the port ecosystem: connected platforms, cloud-based services, service-oriented architectures (SOA), sensors and other IoT technologies (M2M), augmented reality (AR), autonomous transportation, next generation mobile networks (5G) and blockchain-based technology.

CNIT is collaborating with the Port Authority in the development of enhanced services targeting to navigation, digital logistics, and environmental sustainability . 

CNIT is following this activity from the perspective of Research and Development, standardization in the framework of ETSI institutional activities and in cooperation with the Italian Coast Guard.

Prominent examples of Research projects:

• “The 5G-assisted Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (5G MASS)” focusing on the domain of assisted and autonomous shipping in the proximity of seaports.
• “5G Sensors at Sea” focusing on real-time information coming from cargo-containers adopting OneM2M as IoT platform.
