Webinar Key Takeaways
The replay demonstrates how Atoll can be used to plan, optimise, and deploy 5G/FRMCS networks for railways.
Future-Proof Railway Communications with FRMCS
5G-based FRMCS replaces GSM-R, enabling autonomous trains, real-time CCTV, and mission-critical applications (ETCS, MCPTT). Atoll ensures a seamless migration with dual-mode planning for GSM-R and FRMCS, reducing costs and risks.
Unified Planning for Railway Corridors, Tunnels, and Stations
Atoll unifies outdoor, tunnel, and in-building planning for railways. Its railway-specific propagation model parameters and Automatic Cell Planner (ACP) optimise coverage, capacity, and handoffs for high-speed trains and remote terrain.
Built for Safety-Critical, Mission-Critical Operations
Atoll is trusted for railway safety, delivering accurate simulations for ETCS signalling, MCPTT & drone-based inspections. The same platform used for MNO deployments worldwide is now purpose built for private 5G/FRMCS networks.

Why FRMCS and 5G for Railways?
FRMCS is designed to support next-generation railway applications, including:
- ETCS (European Train Control System) for signalling and train control.
- MCPTT (Mission-Critical Push-to-Talk) for emergency communications.
- CCTV surveillance for security and operational monitoring.
- Passenger Wi-Fi for enhanced traveller experience.
Atoll enables dual-mode planning for GSM-R and FRMCS, ensuring a smooth migration with minimal service disruptions.
Frequently asked Questions
Atoll uses railway-specific propagation model parameters that account for tunnel characteristics (e.g., length, materials) and train types (e.g., single-decker, double-decker). This ensures accurate predictions of signal propagation in tunnels.
Yes, Atoll supports dual-mode planning, allowing railways to operate GSM-R and FRMCS simultaneously during the transition period. This ensures minimal service disruptions.
Mission-critical applications in Atoll are defined by parameters such as:
- Data rate (e.g., 200 kbps for ETCS).
- Priority (e.g., Critical for ETCS, High for CCTV).
- Latency (e.g., < 100 ms for ETCS).
- Reliability (e.g., redundancy for safety systems).
