"Following Nokia's 5G radio service designed to deliver high-capacity, high-performance and resilient real-time communications to global rail operators, Germany's national railway company Deutsche Bahn (DB) has deployed a Nokia 1900 MHz (n101) 5G radio network solution with a 5G Standalone (SA) core, said to be the first commercial network installation of its kind. The technology is now running on live outdoor test tracks and the deployment is described as an industry breakthrough"
"In the coming decade, the FRMCS will act as an upgrade to the current 2G Global System for Mobile Communications - Railway (GSM-R) - designed to support essential voice and data for train control and operations - and become the next-generation global standard designed for all railways. The 5G-based successor, with built-in security and enhanced reliability, is designed to enable enhanced automation, new digital applications, improved passenger services and secure cross-border communication."
"Nokia believes the shift to a 5G offering introduces powerful capabilities that align perfectly with the operational needs of modern railways, particularly in border crossing scenarios. Some of the main benefits for rail operators and passengers include automated train operations, passenger information systems, mission-critical voice communication and smart rail maintenance. The technology is being implemented at DB's digital railway test field in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge, Germany), running on live trains."
Deutsche Bahn deployed a Nokia 1900 MHz (n101) 5G radio network with a 5G Standalone (SA) core, claimed as the first commercial installation of its kind. The network runs on live outdoor test tracks at DB's digital railway test field in the Ore Mountains, supporting live trains. The deployment targets Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) specifications to replace GSM‑R, offering built-in security, enhanced reliability, and support for mission‑critical voice and data. Expected benefits include automated train operations, passenger information systems, mission‑critical voice, smart maintenance, and secure cross‑border communication. Key features include built-in failover, self‑healing, and real‑time monitoring. The contract expands DB's trials with Nokia's 5G SA core and n78 while upgrading to n101.
