THE INTELLIGENT CROSSROADS
NETWORK AT THE UTAH INLAND
PORT AUTHORITY




WHAT IS THE INTELLIGENT
CROSSROADS NETWORK?

The world’s first dedicated network for the logistics industry

The Intelligent Crossroads Network (“ICN”) is a public-private partnership
between QuayChain and the Utah Inland Port Authority (UIPA). The ICN is the
world’s first dedicated network for the supply chain industry. The ICN uses
QuayChain’s private LTE/5G networks and Edge Devices (QED) to meet connectivity
and data needs of companies involved in the movement of goods and/or those that
serve and support them.



HOW THE ICN ADVANCES
SUSTAINABILITY

CONNECTIVITY IS FUNDAMENTAL TO PORTS BEING SUSTAINABLE.

Ports and multimodal areas have traditionally been seen as necessary evils;
spewing out pollution and negatively impacting the people who live in the
surrounding areas.

But they don’t have to be.

Progressive thinking ports like the UIPA are leading this shift by demonstrating
that ports can operate sustainably and have a positive impact on local
communities while fostering economic growth and opportunity for those serving
the nation’s supply chain.

IT IS FOR THIS PURPOSE THAT THE ICN WAS CREATED.

Fundamental to this endeavor is connectivity. You cannot change what you cannot
measure and without access to high speed, private LTE/5G, collecting even the
most basic data required to achieve sustainability goals is next to impossible.
And yet, ports and multimodal hubs are frequently located in areas where
wireless access is unreliable (in fact, 40% of ports in the US have little to no
wireless connection at all). This makes measuring environmental data costly,
intermittent and outdated. It also contributes to immediate issues that hinder
the efficient movement of cargo on the ground, contributing to bottlenecking and
port back ups.

QuayChain enables this connectivity and provides visibility into the
environmental data required to shift to greener, more sustainable practices and
provides the foundation ports need in order to begin their path to
sustainability.

DATA SUPPORTS THE PATH TO
SUSTAINABILITY

SHIFTING AN ECOSYSTEM REQUIRES ACCURATE, TIMELY AND TRUSTED DATA.

Like the UIPA, sustainability is one of QuayChain’s core values and for us, it
goes beyond environmental stewardship. It means building resilience in the
industry we serve. Operating sustainably in today’s complex supply chain
encompasses being able to adapt as events and information change–this is the
essence of resiliency. The supply chain’s information changes in real time. The
delayed relay of information due to data black holes means a delay in
situational awareness. During times of volatility, whether it is due to climate
events or a global pandemic, supply chain operators are forced to be reactive,
rather than strategic. Reactive mode reduces opportunities to focus on the
future and hinders adaptability and resilience.

Paramount to enabling the supply chain to make essential changes is the access
to a secure, well maintained, dedicated infrastructure at key locations where
equipment data is captured and verified. This contributes not only to real-time
adjustments with immediate impacts on supply chain flow, but is essential to
making longer term plans for a greener supply chain. Unification of this
information ensures that companies are not working with siloed data but rather
approach the ecosystem as a “gestalt” to meet the industry’s goals.

DATA FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE.

Systems change requires data from trusted sources. QuayChain’s independence and
solution enables that trust. QED provides several ways to confirm accuracy with
data categories that are already used in the supply chain ecosystem. At the ICN,
connectivity and QED’s edge processing will empower ICN port tenants and their
customers to make informed decisions, even in increasing unpredictability.

In addition to real-time equipment data, the ICN will also capture baseline data
focused on driving sustainability for ICN customers and ports. This, coupled
with AI, means information will surface and validate previously unseen
connections to inform future planning approaches.
