Solutions Railway GSM-R and FRMCS systems

Protection of GSM-R and FRMCS systems

A high-performance, wireless connection is essential for real-time data transmission between the train and the track. Communication systems for rail transport systems are therefore becoming increasingly digitalised and equipped with highly sensitive electronics. This makes them more susceptible to faults than they were a decade ago. If communication systems fail due to lightning strikes or surges, delays or cancellations in rail traffic can occur – often at a high cost.

With protection solutions from DEHN, you can avoid system downtimes and malfunctions and protect people at level crossings and ensure the safe operation of telecommunications systems and mobile radio sites.

Solutions for GSM-R and FMRC systems

The GSM-R (Global System for Mobile Communications - Railway) is a special mobile radio system that was developed and adapted for communication in rail transport. The FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System) creates the necessary connectivity for digital future technologies in railway operations.

To ensure good transmission ranges, the radio masts are usually in an exposed position. This means that the risk of a direct lightning strike is particularly high. With a carefully planned lightning and surge protection concept, you can increase the availability of essential communication systems and protect people in the vicinity of the systems.
