The company was chosen to deploy the Long Term Evolution (LTE) solution based on the architecture of the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) to ensure reliable voice and data transmission between trains and dispatch centers.

This system has become the world’s first built upon the future railway mobile communication system (FRMCS).

The integrated dispatcher communication system supplied by Huawei to CFM is based on a convergent communication platform that provides wireless broadband MCX communication and multimedia communication between dispatchers and drivers.

The new system is capable of transmitting information in real-time, which, according to Huawei, will help reduce the number of railway incidents and injuries among personnel.

FRMCS is being developed by the International Union of Railways (UIC) to replace the outdated 2G-based GSM-R technology and create a specialized 5G radio system for railway mobile communication.

It is planned that FRMCS will be introduced in Europe starting from 2030, as the GSM-R technology becomes obsolete and public 2G networks are phased out.

Huawei emphasizes that GSM-R can no longer provide the necessary capacity and connectivity, as modern railways increasingly adopt digital technologies and transmit large volumes of data between trains and trackside systems, for which 2G connectivity is already insufficient.
