How can the rail infra sector implement FRMCS with maximum efficiency?

The rollout of the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is vital for the future of railways. The new 5G-based system is due to replace the existing GSM-R standard between 2025 and 2035, and will accelerate rail digitalisation allowing operators and infrastructure managers to boost safety, optimise maintenance and improve service quality, sustainability, and multimodality.

This two-part webinar series will debate the pros and cons of Bearer Independent Communication (BIC), which promises to ease the use of new and disparate networks and technologies. How can rail infrastructure managers benefit from BIC, which is now being considered as a solution for an agile and cost-effective transition to FRMCS? Could it offer consistent connectivity in rural areas?

Attendees will join interactive discussions between key stakeholders: international organisations, leading infrastructure owners, mobile network operators and Frequentis, experts in BIC. Can BIC maximise connectivity, minimise disruption and help fulfil the promise of FRMCS?
