What’s Replacing GSM-R in the Rail Industry?
The railway industry is entering a new chapter in digital innovation. For over two decades, GSM-R—a 2G-based communication system—has reliably connected train drivers with control centres, ensuring safe and efficient operations. But as 2G networks are gradually retired, GSM-R is reaching its limits. The industry is now preparing to adopt FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System), a modern, future-ready standard designed to support smarter, faster, and more connected rail networks.
