July 4-5, 2018, Sophia Antipolis, France

The ETSI Workshop “Developing the Future Radio for Rail Transport” will give an update on the status of standards for the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) and look at the issues raised by the coexistence of multiple access technologies for rail transport communication.

All 3GPP delegates and followers of the standards will be most welcome at this free event. Although the “Developing the Future Radio for Rail Transport” workshop is not a 3GPP activity, there will be a lot of discussion on the progress of the 3GPP specifications to meet the needs of a FRMCS, as well as an exploration of the role payed by the ETSI Technical Committee for Rail Telecommunications (TC RT).
