Integrating FRMCS: Enhancing rail communications with 5G technology

Countries worldwide are strategizing to increase the share of rail in transporting people and goods to develop more sustainable transportation systems. They recognize that rail is the most sustainable, innovative, and secure mode of transportation today and will remain so in the foreseeable future. For passengers, rail travel is the safest bet, as indicated by the extremely low fatalities per billion passengers/km, compared to those suffered by travelers on roads. With more than 200,000 km of railway lines in the USA, 150,000 km in Europe, and more than 100,000 km in India, businesses and freight carriers can benefit from low-cost and increasingly competitive transportation solutions while reducing their carbon footprint.
