Nokia Webinar

ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

Several railway operators are on the way to digitalisation and automation of their railway operations, and they are already running special programmes, such as Smart Rail 4.0, Digitale Schiene, DigiRail, etc. These programmes allow future services to run even more reliably, increase capacity on the existing rail networks, improve safety for employees and optimise system costs. FRMCS (the Future Railway Mobile Communication System), enabled by the latest mobile communication technology – 5G – plays a central role by not only replacing the legacy GSM-R communication system, but also by allowing the implementation of a broad range of new use cases, such as ATO, IoT and remote operation.

During the webinar, technology experts from Nokia discussed:

  • The role of FRMCS in railway digitalisation
  • The promising use cases enabled by FRMCS
  • FRMCS implementation timelines and migration aspects
  • Details on 5G as an enabling technology
  • Example programmes and trials underway at major rail operators
