Kontron AG, a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computing Technology and 5G cellular modems, announced a collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to develop a next-generation 5G FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System) PC3 modem tailored for the MORANE 2 European railway communications initiative.
FRMCS will be the 5G standard for railway operational communications, adaptable to the needs and requirements of rail organizations within Europe and beyond.
The Kontron 5G FRMCS modem is based on the Snapdragon X72 5G Modem-RF System, which delivers unparalleled performance, reliability, and energy efficiency, making it the ideal foundation for FRMCS deployments in rail environments. Dedicated 5G railway communication frequency bands n100 (900 MHz FDD, BW 5 MHz), and n101 (1900 MHz TDD, BW 10 MHz), and public n28 frequency band.
Kontron AG will lead the design and development of the 5G FRMCS modem, integrating the Snapdragon X72 5G Modem-RF System into a ruggedized, railway-compliant solution. This modem will play a key role in enabling security-focused, high-speed, and more reliable communication across European rail networks, supporting both operational and passenger services.
