ProRail is initiating a migration to a cloud-native global system for mobile communications for railways (GSM-R), enhancing safety and reliability for millions of passengers. The upgrade is part of a four-year modernization project aimed at extending the lifespan of existing 2G infrastructure. This new system supports crucial voice and data communications for train operations and paves the way for future railway mobile communication systems (FRMCS), which promise faster data and improved safety. Nokia will supply a cloud-native core infrastructure, enabling better integration, operational efficiency, and reduced ownership costs.
ProRail's move to a cloud-native GSM-R core network aims to enhance safety and reliability for passengers while paving the way for future railway communication systems.
GSM-R, the current standard for secure railway communications, facilitates essential voice and data for train operations, while the upcoming FRMCS system will provide faster data and improved safety.
The upgrade, part of a four-year modernisation project, enhances ProRail’s existing infrastructure and supports integration of new technologies, promoting operational efficiency and real-time decision-making.
The Nokia Cloud Platform will offer a fully cloud-native core infrastructure capable of streamlining applications and reducing the total ownership costs for railway operators like ProRail.
