How can the rail infra sector implement FRMCS with maximum efficiency?
The rollout of the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is vital for the future of railways. The new 5G-based system is due to replace the existing GSM-R standard between 2025 and 2035, and will accelerate rail digitalisation allowing operators and infrastructure managers to boost safety, optimise maintenance and improve service quality, sustainability, and multimodality.
This two-part webinar series will debate the pros and cons of Bearer Independent Communication (BIC), which promises to ease the use of new and disparate networks and technologies. How can rail infrastructure managers benefit from BIC, which is now being considered as a solution for an agile and cost-effective transition to FRMCS? Could it offer consistent connectivity in rural areas?
Attendees will join interactive discussions between key stakeholders: international organisations, leading infrastructure owners, mobile network operators and Frequentis, experts in BIC. Can BIC maximise connectivity, minimise disruption and help fulfil the promise of FRMCS?

Markku VoutilainenSenior Inspector, Engineering and Environment, Track and Rolling Stock Technology, Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (FTIA)Markku Voutilainen has been working for Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (FTIA) since 2002. He has lead the Finnish GSM-R radio network implementation project. Later he was leading the project, where communication was transferred from GSM-R to the existing state security TETRA network and bearer independent communication concept was introduced. He is now preparing the next communication evolution step how to introduce Future Railway Mobile Communications System (FRMCS) in Finland.
Prior to his current position Voutilainen has worked for Nokia and Ericsson in Finland, Europe, Far and Middle East and has more than 30 years' versatile experience in public and private telecommunications.
