Over the past decade, rail modernization has progressed at a rapid pace. From high-speed rolling stock, extensive electrification to smart signaling systems and dedicated freight corridors, several initiatives are being progressively launched across the world. Railway operations are mission critical in nature and despite the drive to incorporate the latest technologies, the industry is still using antiquated legacy systems. To remain competitive, digitalization of the whole infrastructure is imperative.

FRMCS (Future Rail Mobile Communication System), the new 5G-based connectivity standard, will enable rail operators to enhance safety across the infrastructure, automate operations, ensuring on-time travel and improving passenger experience with advanced passenger information systems. Making rail travel a competitive and convenient option again.

“The future of rail transport will depend on taking advantage of advanced communications systems to enhance safety, increase operational efficiency and upgrade the passenger experience,” says Karsten Oberle, Head of Rail at Nokia.
