UIC Rail Telecoms Academy

Wray Castle have partnered with the UIC (Union internationale des chemins de fer), the worldwide rail organisation to develop the UIC Rail Telecoms Academy featuring a suite of specialists training solutions for the railway industry covering rail radio engineering technologies.

With the introduction of FRMCS, a technology based upon the latest 5G technologies, the international rail industry faces a period of transition from the existing GSM-R technology first introduced in 2000. The partnership is designed to build knowledge and upskill experienced engineers as well as those new to rail radio engineering and associated industries.

Our expertise as the leading provider of telecoms technology training ensures we can help you develop the skills you need to plan, build and optimise rail communications networks as technologies evolve.
