The on-going FRMCS project and Shift2Rail work streams represent important steps in defining the future communication system for railway. However, the railway communication supply industry has identified a major challenge to industrialise the solutions and ensure readiness for a commercial rollout, similar to the challenge faced when GSM-R was introduced. UNIFE is convinced that an initiative to support the first European market application and piloting of FRMCS would represent an essential step to successfully introduce the new communication system into the railway networks. This UNITEL Position Paper on ‘EU funded and coordinated FRMCS pilot projects’ outlines the challenge identified by the railway communication supply industry and highlights the need and purpose of FRMCS pilot projects in moving towards the future communication system for railways

UNIFE’s new Vision Paper on digitalisation outlines the views, priorities and ambitions of the European rail supply industry on digital technologies which are shaping the way our sector is moving forward. UNIFE’s vision focuses on  five major areas – Big Data; Cybersecurity; Artificial Intelligence; New Mobility Services and the Digitalisation of the Freight Logistics Chain – which are contributing to the greatest extent to the digital transformation in the rail sector. With the present Vision Paper, UNIFE aims to bring the European rail supply industry’s views and objectives into the centre of the digital debate, to contribute decisively such discussions, and to effectively engage in a fruitful dialogue with decision-makers and other key stakeholders
