Introduction

The transition from GSM-R to 5G-based FRMCS is highlighted as a critical communications transformation for the rail industry, with an implementation window targeted for 2027-2030. A special report is offered to provide guidance on this transition.

FRMCS Transformation

The shift from GSM-R to the 5G-based FRMCS is described as the most critical communications transformation in the rail industry in two decades. This change is presented as the foundation for a new era of digital, automated, and sustainable rail transport.

Implementation Timeline

The end-of-life for GSM-R is approaching, with the 2027-2030 implementation window for FRMCS noted as closing rapidly. This transformation is presented as an opportunity to build a network for future operations.

Technical Expertise

The transformation requires expertise across 5G, IP/MPLS, cloud architecture, and cybersecurity.

Report Content

The special report is designed to be an essential resource for planning a secure, reliable, and future-ready FRMCS implementation.
