Port and maritime technology
Fiber, networks, yard Wi-Fi and FSP-aligned security for terminals, yards and gates, built for salt air.
The short answer
WCC installs port and maritime technology in Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Diego: fiber across terminals and yards, including Sumitomo air-blown fiber, segmented networks that keep operational systems separate, yard Wi-Fi, marine-rated cameras and gate access control coordinated with your Facility Security Plan.
Why ports are different
What makes port work different
| Challenge | How we handle it |
|---|---|
| Long yard distances | Singlemode fiber and air-blown fiber duct for runs copper can't reach |
| Salt air | NEMA 4X cabinets, marine-rated camera housings and stainless hardware |
| Operational systems | Crane, gate and terminal systems kept on separate networks from office and contractor traffic |
| Federal security rules | Cameras and access control placed to match your Facility Security Plan |
| Live operations | Work scheduled around vessels, cranes, gate hours and site access |
What we do
Port technology services
Fiber and air-blown fiber
Terminal backbones and yard runs, including Sumitomo air-blown fiber, with OTDR test records.
Networks
Segmented switching for operational, security, office and contractor traffic. Networking
Yard Wi-Fi
Outdoor access points placed around container stacks and cranes. Wireless
Cameras
Perimeter, gate, berth and yard coverage in marine-rated housings. Security cameras
Access control
Vehicle and pedestrian gates, buildings and restricted areas with audit logs. Access control
Documentation
Labels, test results and as-builts for every cabinet and run.
Maritime security
Coordinated with your Facility Security Officer
Regulated facilities operate under a Facility Security Plan required by Coast Guard rules (33 CFR Part 105). We work with your Facility Security Officer so camera coverage, access points and audit logs match the plan, and we can install TWIC-capable readers where your plan calls for them. Getting placement right at install costs far less than fixing it after an inspection.

FAQ
Port questions
Do you work at the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach?
Yes. WCC works on terminal, yard and facility infrastructure at Southern California ports.
Do you install air-blown fiber?
Yes. WCC installs Sumitomo air-blown fiber, which lets fiber be added or replaced through existing duct without new trenching.
Is your hardware rated for salt air?
Yes. We use NEMA 4X cabinets, marine-rated camera housings and corrosion-resistant hardware outdoors.
Do you coordinate with our Facility Security Plan?
Yes. Camera and access control placement is coordinated with your Facility Security Officer.
Can you install TWIC readers?
Yes, where your Facility Security Plan calls for them.
Can you work around terminal operations?
Yes. Work is scheduled around vessels, crane activity and gate hours.
