🚄 Faster, safer and smarter - FRMCS is the key enabler for rail digitalization and will help to bring improvements in terms of safety, efficiency and innovation. As a driving force in the definition and specification of FRMCS, Kontron Transportation is closely involved in several standardization working groups and European research projects🚀. The aim is to define, develop and bring to market a future-proof modern communication system based on 5G technology which addresses todays as well as future railway requirements and is able to act as successor for GSM-R. The key attributes of FRMCS include higher flexibility and adaptability, increased capacity and throughput, improved security and resiliency for voice, data and video communication services. As such FRMCS is enabling the shift towards smart connected transportation systems perfectly suited to meet the demands of modern and safe rail operations, including train control and automation, to achieve economical and climate targets. Michael Mikulandra is Head of Products at Kontron Transportation and belongs to the leading experts in Europe in the FRMCS domain. This is what he had told me when I recently asked him about his passion for new Railway technologies. “FRED, you´re right. I have a passion for Railways and communication technologies. So, I am in the middle of an exciting environment, at the right place at the right time 😄. Railways have started their journey towards FRMCS and Kontron Transportation is helping, supporting and guiding them with our expertise and knowledge. We are intensively working with our customers on next generation technology introductions and migration plans to pave the way for a successful and smooth transition from GSM-R to FRMCS." #FRMCS #5G #KontronFRED #KontronTransportation #railwaysolution #passion4railways #dedication4railways #trustedpartner

#FRMCS will be the master pillar on which the digitisation of rail is built, optimising costs and processes for rail infrastructure owners and operators, while increasing safety and quality of service levels for all users. It will serve to remove barriers that arise between different transport systems, showing the way towards a new mobility model. At Teltronic, we have already deployed #broadband systems and #MCX technology for railway environments, successful experiences that position us at the forefront of technology, and with R&D projects like #MoySEST, we continue advancing our FRMCS solution.

Enhancing Rail Connectivity with 5G: The Future of Railways Today's disruption in the UK rail network due to a failure in the GSM-R system highlights the urgent need for modernization. As we look to the future, 5G technology, particularly through the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) being developed within 3GPP as part of Rel 17 and 18, offers a promising solution to enhance rail connectivity and improve service levels. **Higher Service Levels with 5G:** 1. **Digitalization of the Rail Network:** The adoption of 5G enables the digitalization of the rail network, providing a robust foundation for operational optimization through real-time data analytics and intelligent infrastructure management. 2. **Reduced Delays:** 5G-enabled sensors can transmit vast amounts of data almost instantaneously, allowing for real-time adjustments to train routes and speeds based on current conditions. This can significantly reduce delays and improve punctuality. 3. **Operational Efficiency:** 5G can optimize rail track usage and enhance scheduling, leading to more efficient operations and better resource utilization. 4. **Safety and Security:** Advanced communication systems powered by 5G can improve safety and security measures, ensuring a safer travel environment for passengers and staff. The transition to 5G for railways, guided by FRMCS and supported by initiatives like TOBA as a new architecture for in train connectivity, is not just a technological upgrade; it's a step towards a more efficient, reliable, and passenger-friendly rail network. Let's embrace the future of rail connectivity with 5G! --- #5GRailways #FutureOfRail #RailConnectivity #DigitalRailway #RailwaySafety #5GTechnology #RailwayOperations #FRMCS #TOBA #RailNetwork

Something I think we can all relate to is when you can't physically see a technology, it can be easy to forget it's even there. But that doesn't mean it isn't important. 5G for rail communications is precisely one of these 'invisible' technologies that most people won't necessarily be aware of but is incredibly vital to improving rail safety, passenger experience and even sustainability. With rail companies on the verge of a major technological shift from GSM-R to the Future Radio Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) standard, it's never been more clear how 5G can truly revolutionize train operations. The question is, how will companies be able to implement their future proofed FRMCS cost-effectively? This article from the International Railway Journal explores the key concepts for the efficient deployment of FRMCS in depth — well worth a read if you're curious like I am: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dd7QZfDj #TeamEricsson #FRMCS #5GRailways #UICConference

Did you know the railway industry still uses mobile 2G? It is known as GSM-R (GSM for Railway). GSM-R is used over 130.000 kilometers of track in Europe and 210.000 kilometers worldwide. But time has come to move forward. Hence, the railway industry has been working (already for several years) on the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (aka FRMCS), which is based on 5G. The European Commission has set a timeline with specifications to be ready for testing beginning 2025. Obviously, moving from 2G straight to 5G is a big step, and it will take several more years before FRMCS is widely commercially deployed; but the move is a good chance to enhance the communication system of trains.

📢ETCS BL 3-FRMCS: an imperative necessity With the Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway (GSM-R) set to become obsolete between 2030-2035, the migration to the Future Rail Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) faces significant implementation challenges for railways. These challenges, coupled with significant resource demands and operational risks, raise serious concerns about the feasibility of a timely FRMCS migration. In August, AERRL had published a position paper on ERTMS deployment where (https://lnkd.in/eRq_tbS7) we had advocated for a fast and coordinated roll-out of FRMCS that is not dependent on the versions of ETCS higher than SV2.0. This new document, co-signed by other representative bodies of the rail sector, explains in detail why and how we need to achieve this important goal. AERRL, CER (Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies), ERFA-European Rail Freight Association and UNIFE | The European Rail Supply Industry Association support the development of the Baseline Light solution (or any solution for Baseline 3 products), which enables a faster migration and offers a cost-effective alternative for existing fleets, with potential savings of at least around EUR 1 billion. We are convinced that Baseline Light is a safe, interoperable and technically feasible solution, fit for the operational purpose.
