Wireless CCTV Transmission Secures Venlo Trade Port, Netherlands

Venlo, located in the southeast of the Netherlands, is one of Europe’s most important logistics hubs. Positioned strategically with direct access to the port of Rotterdam, Germany’s industrial heartland, and the Maas inland port, Venlo Trade Port handles massive flows of high-value goods every day. Ensuring the secure movement of merchandise across this logistics corridor is vital to the local and international economy.

With thousands of shipments moving in and out daily, the need for a reliable and scalable video surveillance system was clear. However, a traditional approach using cable or fibre presented two significant challenges:

1. Deployment Disruption: Laying fibre would require extensive roadworks across a major industrial park, causing long-term disruption to businesses and transport routes.
2. High Cost & Time Constraints: The expense of trenching and fibre rollout, combined with time delays, made the approach impractical for the scale required.

Authorities and business stakeholders urgently needed a solution that was:

• Fast to deploy,
• Reliable in performance, and
• Scalable for future growth.
• The Solution

Wavesight partnered with Qcat, a leading systems integrator based in Rotterdam, to build a state-of-the-art wireless surveillance network across Venlo Trade Port.

• Over 120 high-definition security cameras were strategically deployed to monitor critical logistics and trade zones.
• More than 200 wireless radio links from Wavesight were installed, creating a robust, secure, and high-capacity network without the need for disruptive fibre installation.
• The wireless backbone enabled real-time surveillance feeds with the reliability and scalability needed for one of Europe’s busiest logistics hubs.

The new system has transformed how Venlo safeguards its trade and industrial assets:

• Rapid Deployment:The entire wireless surveillance infrastructure was installed quickly, avoiding delays common to fibre rollouts.
• Zero Disruption to Operations: No roadworks or excavation were needed, ensuring uninterrupted business in the industrial area.
• Cost Efficiency: The wireless solution significantly reduced capital expenditure compared to fibre optic alternatives.
• Scalable & Future-Ready:The network can be expanded easily as security requirements grow with increasing trade volumes.

Wavesight’s wireless surveillance solutions have enabled Venlo Trade Port to enhance the security of high-value supply chains without disruption to operations. By combining cutting-edge radio technology with expansive camera coverage, Venlo now benefits from resilient, scalable, and future-ready protection.
