first 5G-based network for automated rail operation
Press Release
- The solution is one of the world’s first standalone 5G networks
used for automated rail operation.
- The project constitutes an essential milestone in the
development of the 5G-based Future Railway Mobile Communication
System (FRMCS) standard — the successor to the current GSM-R
standard
12 December 2019
Espoo, Finland – Nokia has won a tender to test
and deliver the world’s first standalone (SA) 5G system for
automated rail operation in Hamburg, Germany. The project is part
of Deutsche Bahn’s highly automated S-Bahn operation project. The
proof-of-concept will test whether 5G technology is mature enough
to be used as the connectivity layer for future, digitalized rail
operations. The project constitutes an early and important step in
the development of the Future Railway Mobile Communications System
(FRMCS) standard, based on 5G, and sets the stage for the digital
transformation of railway operations.
Nokia is a leader in this market with extensive experience in
providing GSM-R systems to rail operators in 22 countries, covering
109,000 km of track. Overall, Nokia has provided networking,
cybersecurity, IoT and analytics solutions to 110+ operators for
both mainline and metro rail. This project to deliver the first 5G
SA solution for rail operation, further emphasizes Nokia’s
leadership position.
By 2021, as part of the project “Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg”,
highly automated trains (with train drivers on board who keep
safety responsibility) are expected to operate on a 23-kilometer
section of the S-Bahn Line 21, starting at Berliner Tor, one of the
main transport hubs in Hamburg. Part of the demonstration will
include fully driverless shunting of empty trains in an area near
Bergedorf station, based on the transmission of train control
information over the Nokia 5G mobile network.
The Nokia 5G solution is based on 3GPP standards for 5G mobile
networks, allowing highly or fully automated trains to exchange
relevant data with trackside equipment by 5G radio. This will have
positive effects on cross-border operation, capacity of rail
infrastructure, punctuality of trains and also on customer
experience.
Kathrin Buvac, President of Nokia Enterprise and Chief
Strategy Officer, said: “We are very pleased to be
Deutsche Bahn’s partner, bringing digital technology to the
forefront of the Hamburg S-Bahn network and rail system. Together,
we have worked to research, develop and deliver the world’s first
5G-based communication system for automated rail operation, an
important milestone towards the Future Rail Mobile Communicatoin
Sytem and a major step in making Industry 4.0 a reality.”
