UIC FRMCS Engineering: 20-21 May (9am-5pm CET)
GSM-R end of life is anticipated to be around 2030 which only leaves a few years to find a replacement system. The International Union of Railways (UIC) have published a document called FRMCS- Future Railway Mobile Communications System which outlines what will be required of a future system. The railway community have detailed the communications requirements of the future railway networks and are looking for telecommunications manufacturers and standards bodies to provide a suitable solution.
Prerequisites
Attendees ideally will have a background in telecommunications gained from working in the railway industry and have technical knowledge of GSM-R.

ERTMS / ETCS for Radio Engineers: 30 April-01 May (9am-5pm CET)
The European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is a major rail project underway in Europe. The aim is to replace the dissimilar train control systems used in various countries with a common system known as the European Train Control System (ETCS).
This course provides an overview of ETCS but focuses on how GSM-R with or without GPRS can be used as a bearer for ETCS signalling.
This self-paced on-demand distance learning course features illustrated course books, videos, tests and full tutor support.
Prerequisites
Delegates attending this course should be familiar with the principles of GSM-R networks.
Course contents
- ERTMS Standards and Legislation
- Basic System Description
- System Architecture
- ERTMS Operating Modes
- ERTMS/ETCS Protocols
- Circuit Switched Signalling
- Circuit Switched Connections
- GPRS for ETCS
- The GPRS Air Interface
- GPRS Procedures
