Is your backbone communication network ready for FRMCS?

Many backbone communication networks fall short on multiple fronts for FRMCS transport. This whitepaper identifies the gaps and articulates how to meet new requirements.

Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is the future wireless communication system for digital rail. In FRMCS, the transport network domain is foundational as it links the RAN and core domains together. While new railway backbone communication networks can support a number of rail applications, they fall short on multiple fronts for FRMCS transport. This whitepaper identifies the gaps and articulates how the backbone network can evolve to meet new requirements.
