Eviden, the Atos Group product brand leading in advanced computing, cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems and vision AI, today announces that it has been awarded a strategic contract to deploy a 5G Mobile Private Network featuring key components of its Lifelink solution at the Port of Ploče in Croatia. This initiative marks a major step in the port’s digital transformation journey through the ambitious Smart Port project, aimed at modernizing logistics, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing security using cutting-edge 5G technology.
The Port of Ploče serves as a critical logistics hub in Central and Southeastern Europe, and the deployment of a dedicated 5G network will enable seamless, real-time connectivity across port operations. The project is being delivered in collaboration with local partner Markoja.
“This implementation is a pivotal move toward smarter, safer and more connected port operations to support the Port of Ploče’s digital agenda”, said Sandi Marušić, Head of Eviden, Atos Group, in Croatia.

The Lifelink 5G Mobile Private Network key components deployed by Eviden’s critical communications experts, support:
- Real-time location system (RTLS): Enables accurate tracking of ships and vehicles, improves traffic, mooring and parking management within the port, and increases security by preventing unauthorized access.
- Advanced cargo monitoring: Implementation of smart cameras and sensors for automated cargo identification and analytics, improving the safety and efficiency of terminal operations.
- Incident prevention and management: Deployment of thermal cameras, fire sensors, and air and sea quality measurement sensors, along with a local weather station, to strengthen safety protocols and emergency response capabilities.
- Drone surveillance: The 5G private network will also support real-time drone operations for cargo and infrastructure monitoring.
