The Railway is Moving from GSM-R to FRMCS
FRMCS will reshape how railway communications, operations and digital systems are designed, integrated and managed.
FRMCS & The Connected Railway 2027 brings together infrastructure managers, operators, OEMs, technology providers, engineers and programme leaders to examine the practical transition from GSM-R to FRMCS — and what next-generation connectivity means for the future railway.
The discussion moves beyond the standard itself to address migration, deployment, interoperability, onboard systems, resilient communications, cybersecurity, automation and future operational capability.
MIGRATION
From GSM-R transition planning to implementation and deployment.
CONNECTED RAILWAY
5G, onboard connectivity, infrastructure, data and interoperable digital systems.
FUTURE OPERATIONS
Resilience, automation and the operational capabilities enabled by next-generation rail communications.
What FRMCS & The Connected Railway 2027 Will Address
-
— migration strategies, coexistence, transition planning and deployment.
-
— radio access, core networks, trackside infrastructure, spectrum and coverage.
-
— gateways, cab radio, onboard networks, train-to-ground communications and integration.
-
— MORANE-2, validation, certification, cross-border operation and technical assurance.
-
— operational continuity, hybrid communications, redundancy, secure architecture and degraded-mode operation.
-
— how FRMCS enables richer data exchange, intelligent operations, automation and ultimately more autonomous railway capability.
A focused two-day forum connecting the organisations specifying, building, deploying and operating the next generation of railway communications.
