GSM-R, Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway or GSM-Railway is an international wireless communications standard for railway communication and applications. A sub-system of European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), it is used for communication between train and railway regulation control centres
GSM-R is an adaptation of GSM to provide mission critical features for railway operation and can work at speeds up to 500 km/hour. It is based on EIRENE – MORANE specifications. (EUROPEAN INTEGRATED RAILWAY RADIO ENHANCED NETWORK and Mobile radio for Railway Networks in Europe) GSM-R Stanadardisation
UIC the International Union of UIC Railways forms the requirements for a common communication standard for the railways
European Integrated Radio ETSI Enhanced Network the European Railway communications EIRENE ETSI-SMG standard body, defines the functional characteristics and interoperability of GSM-R networks
Mobile radio for Railway Networks
INDUSTRIAL in Europe (MORANE) Development PARTNERS MORANE and test of a GSM-R system based on the specifications defined by EIRENE Demise of GSM-R
GSM-R is being phased out from 2020 onwards:
• The system life-cycle is coming to an end, with vendor support uncertain beyond 2025/2030 • Severe interference with LTE out of band emissions • UIC wants to have a successor technology in place by 2020 for trials and by 2022 for deployment • UIC has already published a user requirement specification in their paper “Future Railway Mobile Communication System “ WHAT IS TETRA?
TETRA The Standard Developed by ETSI TERRESTRIAL TRUNKED Open digital standard in Europe RADIO Adopted worldwide Used by various verticals/segments
A Success TETRA Association represents more than 150 organizations worldwide More than 100 companies are involved in the development of applications
