The development of the transition concept to the new systems and the implementation of Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025.

This updated strategy will secure funding for projects, including the upgrade of passenger rolling stock, with costs for train equipment borne by transportation operators.
