5G-RACOM - 5G for Resilient and Green RAil COMmunications
The 5G-RACOM project, a collaboration between Germany and France, is focused on finding better ways to use the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) and its associated frequency spectrum. FRMCS, set to replace GSM-R, will enable faster and real-time wireless communication between trains and infrastructure using 5G technology. To support the expected increase in data rates from FRMCS applications, the European Commission has granted railway infrastructure managers additional spectrum in the 900 MHz and 1900 MHz bands. This extra bandwidth is crucial for the planned modernization of rail traffic. FRMCS forms the foundation for digitizing and automating railway operations, essential for improving train capacity on tracks.
