Are you ready to hop on board the future of rail technology? Join us as we chat with Jochen Appel, Nokia's Global Vice President of Digital Industries, to explore the exciting world of 5G technology for rail networks and its potential for transforming the rail industry. We discuss the unique benefits of upgrading from the existing GSMR system to a 5G-based system, such as faster data speeds, a larger ecosystem of vendors, and more data to support critical operations, automation, and asset management.

Jochen also sheds light on the potential of the Future Rail Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) as a global standard, and the role of organizations like UIC and Unifei in developing it. We dive into the trials being run by Nokia with customers and SNCF, SBB, and Deutsche Bahn, and discuss the transition process for rail operators moving to FRMCS systems.
