Metro & Railways
Cybertel Bridge advances FRMCS with innovative LTE-based solutions, including
Cell ID-Based Dynamic Group Call, High Availability with instant failover response,
and smooth integration with existing railway communication networks.
Challenge
Operators of railway and public transportation networks are increasingly recognizing the advantages of next-generation broadband cellular technologies.
Railways are actively planning the transition from GSM-R to 5G-based FRMCS, while public transportation companies are moving towards consolidating separate voice (e.g., TETRA, DMR) and
data (e.g., Wi-Fi) networks into unified 3GPP-based solutions.
However, migrating the legacy communication solution to the new generation infrastructure presents significant challenges. Migration efforts must carefully balance the adoption of new
technologies while maintaining the continuity of critical operations. One of the foremost challenges is ensuring seamless communication between legacy and modern systems without causing
operational disruptions.
Additionally, preserving investments in existing solutions, such as Cab Radios, Operations Control Centers (OCC), Recording Systems, and Passenger Announcement platforms, is a priority.
Any new solution must be backward-compatible and capable of coexisting with or gradually replacing legacy systems to maximize cost-efficiency and operational reliability.
Overcoming these challenges is essential to unlock the full potential of next-generation communications for railways and public transportation networks.
Cybertel Solution
To address the challenges of integrating next-generation communication technologies with legacy railway and public transportation systems, Cybertel offers a robust and standards-compliant solution. Leveraging 3GPP-defined interfaces, Cybertel ensures seamless interworking, backward compatibility, and minimal operational disruption during the transition.
-
01. Standards-Based architecture
Groups are automatically defined and updated based on users’ real-time locations within specific Cell IDs. As personnel move between cells, their membership in the group changes dynamically, ensuring seamless communication without manual intervention.
-
02. Interworking with Legacy Systems
The solution ensures that all users within a defined geographical area are included in the group call. Whether near a station, along a track section, or within a tunnel, coverage is consistent and reliable.
-
03. Integration of Legacy End-User Solutions
By creating location-aware communication channels, the system provides real-time connectivity for personnel operating within the same area.
This improves coordination and ensures that all team members have the latest updates. -
04. Comprehensive Technical Framework
Cell ID-based group calls eliminate the need for manual group management. For example, a train driver can instantly communicate with all staff in a specific zone, such as approaching a station, without needing predefined setups or manual adjustments.
With Cybertel’s Cell ID-based Dynamic Group Calls, railway and metro operators gain the tools they need to streamline communication, improve operational efficiency, and respond effectively to dynamic and emergency situations.
By leveraging 3GPP standards, Cybertel’s MCPTT solution empowers railway and public transportation operators with seamless interoperability, efficient integration of legacy systems, and reliable, scalable communication capabilities. This innovative approach ensures a smooth transition to next-generation networks while preserving existing investments and enabling uninterrupted operations.
