We are developing 5G and FRMCS access radio solutions for the retrofitting of existing locomotives as well as complete solutions for new vehicles. Even today, with our new product line MESA all:nexo about innovative and proven FRMCS train radio solutions. The series all:interfacing is geared towards the future of rail communication and is available in various versions.
The all:nexo series systems support 5G/FRMCS natively whilst train radio systems of the series MESA all:nexo multimode can be configured to be backward compatible with previous communication standards through already available GSM-R or analog radio modules.
With the introduction of FRMCS, we will provide certified TSI CCS-compliant FRMCS onboard systems. The current plans of the EU Commission envisage creating the legal framework for the introduction and approval of FRMCS by 2028, and subsequently enabling the technology rollout. Funkwerk’s all:nexo train radio solutions are technically already capable of meeting the standard, which is yet to be finalised. Funkwerk is significantly involved in the standardisation process, development, and testing for the introduction of FRMCS, and is active in European bodies.
I have questionsOur MESA all:nexo solution is used for voice and data transmission in public and private 5G networks. The radio module is connected directly to the vehicle's electrical system and operated via the supplied touchscreen control unit.
Incl. power supply, handset and microphone
For quick and compact installation in locomotive and driving vehicle cockpits, we have developed a compact 5G-based cab radio, which is fully housed within a standardised double-DIN enclosure.
In addition to an integrated eSIM, it can be operated with a publicly available SIM card and is designed as an all-in-one unit for permanent installation in vehicles. Thus, the MESA all:nexo compact is also for regional public transport Suitable.
The MESA all:nexo compact enables 3G, 4G, and 5G mobile voice and data services, including the capability for Mission-Critical Applications (MCX/FRMCS).
At the heart of the MESA all:nexo multimode is a modular central unit for 5G/FRMCS networks. To ensure backward compatibility with previous radio standards, the system can be expanded with further radio modules. For example, with a variety of our GSM-R radio modules for international use and/or expansion units for analogue radio. The system has a universal system architecture and is expandable via uniform and standardised interfaces and modules.
The train radio solution for the future of rail communication masters relevant train radio standards. In a single modular system.
