Effortlessly Modernise your Railway Communications Networks
Railway communications networks are essential for efficient operations, signalling control and passenger safety. As critical national infrastructure, they must meet stringent performance goals and targets.
As rail network operators seek to modernise and move to the next generation of wireless communications tech, they must also protect and manage their legacy assets.
Enhanced Digitalisation
Unlock new levels of performance and efficiency
Digitalisation drives efficient integration of processes and systems and is the key to driving data insights and enabling future automation. Network transformation depends on the adoption of new digital systems – and to support the resilience required for critical national infrastructure and to comply with new regulations.
5G for Rail
Advanced mobile communications capabilities
The migration from GSM-R to FRMCS is underway, with pilots and trials demonstrating how the new capabilities it brings can benefit railway train-side and track-side communication. FRMCS enhances existing voice and data communications services, delivering enhanced low-latency performance and capacity.
Legacy Migration
Spanning edge, transport and core
Railway networks include multiple generations of technology – from analogue to ISDN at the edge, SDH in the transport, and switches in the core. Moving to the latest generation of fibre, radio, DWDM and more is a huge challenge that must be undertaken while preserving key services and without operational disruption.
Planning and Asset Management
Effortlessly control inventory and grow your network
Railway network inventory management and control poses unique challenges that must be considered alongside any growth plans as you reconfigure networks, position new radio and fibre assets and build out new communications connections. Accurate and updated inventory is essential for your modernisation and digitalisation programmes.
The Future Rail Mobile Communication System gives railway network operators a much-needed boost into the 5G era. While GSM-R was a huge success – with more deployments on than 210,000 km of track globally – the next generation of mission-critical wireless network has been much anticipated.
Although mass deployment isn’t expected until the 2030s, projects like the new FP2-MORANE-2 trials will bring FRMCS into the real world, proving the mettle of the standards and ensuring they are adapted to realistic operating conditions. With a growing ecosystem of partners, there have already been tender and procurement processes for early-adopters and PoCs, clearly pointing the way to a 5G-enabled future.
This means you have to get ready — now — before the train leaves the station. So, preparation must begin, even as the standards are baked and system performance and reliability are demonstrated, at scale and in live networks. Adapting to the new levels of QoS and performance FRMCS delivers will take time: find out how Enghouse Networks can help.
