FRMCS For Mobile Network Operators

Course Details

Duration: 1 Day

Description

Railways worldwide have relied on GSM-R, a specialised adaptation of commercial GSM technology, for critical train-to-controller voice communications and digital signalling for over 15 years. However, GSM-R is reaching the end of its lifecycle and will become obsolete by 2035.

The International Union of Railways (UIC) has launched the Future Railway Mobile Communications System (FRMCS) project to design and implement the next-generation communication system. Unlike its predecessor, FRMCS leverages cutting-edge 5G technology and offers mobile network operators (MNOs) a unique opportunity to contribute to this transformative shift in railway communications.

This course provides an in-depth overview of FRMCS, highlighting:

  • The transition from GSM-R to FRMCS, including timelines and standards.
  • Planned 5G-based network architecture.
  • Key challenges, such as spectrum allocation, coverage, and capacity.
  • The critical role of MNOs, from infrastructure sharing to delivering broadband services.

Tailored for mobile network operators, this course equips participants with the insights needed to engage with the FRMCS initiative, seize new opportunities, and contribute to the success of the next-generation railway communication system.
