InnoTrans 2024 event

Railway IMs typically intend to deploy a dedicated network for FRMCS. In order to get the most out of the available spectrum, Ericsson is offering 8x8 radios and antennas for FRMCS 1900 MHz. With the performance advantage 8x8 offers, we optimize the site-to-site distance needed to ensure sufficient coverage while keeping investment at a reasonable level. We will show also the  e2e product portfolio for 5G Corridors deployment, enabling gigabit speeds per train.

The standardization of FRMCS, the Future Radio Mobile Communication System, is ongoing. In order to validate its specifications and verify the eco-system, a pan-European project involving no less than 4 countries will launch in 2026. After that, large-scale deployments of FRMCS can start. In this demo, we will explain the project’s  unique challenges and how they are to be addressed.  

Learn more on how 5G corridors offering gigabit speeds per train can be deployed. With three references (Swisscom, the GINT project, ADIF) we show three different business models where commercial MNOs have been incentivized to deploy 5G corridors. We will also show how 5G Corridors can benefit not only passenger connectivity but also the railway companies for their operations.

Showcasing how RF planning is done in 5G, highlighting the major factors influencing site-to-site distance, in particular, we will show the benefits of our RAN solution based on 8x8 MIMO.

The demo showcases cutting-edge 4G/5G connectivity solutions for the railway industry, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for trains, stations, offices, IoT and edge solutions. Highly energy efficient, it offers a small physical footprint and low energy requirements. With one screen control through Ericsson NetCloud , the technology is easy to install and manage, ensuring secure and reliable communication channels for critical railway operations.
