FRMCS Engineering (On-Demand)

SKU: MB2020-pd

Course Details

Duration: 22 Hours

Description

GSM-R end of life is anticipated to be around 2030 which only leaves a few years to find a replacement system. The International Union of Railways (UIC) have published a document called FRMCS- Future Railway Mobile Communications System which outlines what will be required of a future system. The railway community have detailed the communications requirements of the future railway networks and are looking for telecommunications manufacturers and standards bodies to provide a suitable solution.

This technical course is aimed at engineers planning to deploy FRMCS as a successor to GSM-R.  It identifies the specifications for FRMCS, the design aims, architecture of the On-Board systems, trackside systems and the transport network.  Additionally, the course details the capabilities of FRMCS, operational procedures and looks at possible migration scenarios with GSM-R.

Now fully updated to include FRMCS V2 specifications.

Prerequisites

Attendees ideally will have a background in telecommunications gained from working in the railway industry and have technical knowledge of GSM-R.

Who would benefit?

The course is open to anyone that would like to gain an insight into how mobile telecommunications for railways may migrate from GSM-R to the system known as FRMCS.

This self-paced on-demand distance learning course features illustrated course books, videos, tests and full tutor support.
