Future Rail Mobile Communication System (FRMCS)
Plan, deploy and manage FRMCS networks alongside legacy infrastructure
Future Rail Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is the 5G-based successor to GSM-R, designed to support the next generation of railway communications.
Enghouse Networks provides Operations Support System (OSS) solutions to help rail operators plan, deploy and manage FRMCS infrastructure alongside legacy networks, with capabilities spanning network inventory, site management, Geographic Information System (GIS)-enabled planning and operational service assurance.
What Does Enghouse Provide for FRMCS Network Management?
Enghouse brings together OSS capabilities that support railway network operators across the FRMCS network lifecycle, from planning and rollout through to ongoing operations. The solutions support greenfield and hybrid legacy deployments and multi-vendor network environments.
How does Enghouse support the transition from GSM-R to FRMCS?
Railway network operators will need to manage new FRMCS investments alongside existing infrastructure during the transition. Enghouse provides OSS solutions that support both greenfield and hybrid legacy deployments, providing visibility across physical, logical and virtual network resources and supporting multi-vendor investments.

On track or still in the sidings? Getting ready to plan, build and manage an enhanced FRMCS network
The Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) will bring 5G capabilities to railway communications and support the transition from GSM-R. But preparing for FRMCS involves more than upgrading radio and core network technology. Rail operators also need OSS systems that can support increasingly complex environments as legacy and next-generation networks operate side by side.
Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is a 5G-based communication standard designed to succeed GSM-R and support the next generation of railway communications. It provides the connectivity foundation for new and evolving rail applications that require higher data capacity, lower latency and greater flexibility.
Enghouse Networks provides an integrated suite of Operations Support System (OSS) solutions spanning network inventory and resource management, site management and network delivery, GIS-enabled network planning and operational service assurance. Together, these capabilities help railway network operators plan, deploy and operate FRMCS infrastructure alongside legacy systems.
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology supports network planning, design and engineering by providing a geographical view of network infrastructure. Enghouse’s Esri-powered GIS capabilities help railway network operators visualise and share network information, optimise routes and connectivity, and track budgets and expenditure throughout the network lifecycle.
Yes. Enghouse OSS solutions support greenfield and hybrid legacy deployments, helping railway network operators maintain visibility across physical, logical and virtual network resources while managing legacy and new FRMCS investments in parallel.
Operational service assurance helps railway network operators manage critical services across multi-vendor, multi-technology networks. Enghouse supports performance and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) monitoring, fault detection and correlation, predictive trend analysis, and root cause and service impact analysis.
Enghouse provides OSS solutions spanning the FRMCS network lifecycle, from network inventory and resource management to site management, GIS-enabled network planning and operational service assurance. The solutions support greenfield and hybrid legacy deployments and multi-vendor network environments.
Yes. Enghouse OSS solutions are designed to support multi-vendor network environments, providing visibility and management across network resources as railway operators introduce new FRMCS infrastructure alongside existing investments.
