FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System)

FRMCS in Australia

FRMCS is aiming at being a cost efficient digital replacement for existing disparate analogue railway radio networks across Australia together with more recent GSM-R which is fast becoming end of life. Several Australian metro railway operators are in the process of making the transition. Green field operators are now electing for FRMCS architecture as preference.

FRMCS will create for the first time a single standardised signalling and telecommunication platform. This will significantly reduce deployment complexity together with future ongoing maintenance costs.
