ETSI is organizing, with the support of the European Commission (EC), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), the Critical Communications Association (TCCA) and the Union Internationale des Chemins de fer (UIC), the 4th FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System) Plugtests event, which will be hosted by ETSI in Sophia Antipolis, France, from 1 to 5 July 2024. 

GSM-R is the current standard for the railway telecommunication services developed and maintained by ETSI TC RT. With the increased need for more throughout, higher capacity and flexible deployment options, FRMCS is being developed based on 3GPP Mission Critical Services.

What are the objectives and scope of the 4th FRMCS Plugtests event?

Interoperability and Mission Critical services harmonisation are critical challenges for the successful deployment and operation of Mobile Broadband based communication Systems for various sectors, including Railways.

The concept of Mission Critical Services such as “Mission Critical Push To Talk" (MCPTT), “Mission Critical Data" (MCData) and “Mission Critical Video" (MCVideo) started with 3GPP Release-13 and is ongoing in current Releases. The Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is based on these Mission Critical Features.

The goal of the FRMCS Plugtests event Is to validate the interoperability of a variety of implementations using different test scenarios based on the 3GPP Mission Critical Services framework with focus on the rail specific features. The FRMCS Plugtests event will test railways-oriented capabilities defined in 3GPP. This FRMCS Plugtests event is part of the MCX Plugtests programme.

The tests will be based on 3GPP, ETSI and IETF standards, and are designed for the following equipment:

FRMCS capable MCX Application Servers (MCPTT, MCDATA, MCVIDEO) FRMCS capable MCX Clients (MCPTT, MCDATA, MCVIDEO) UEs and Cab Radios eMBMS Components IMS / SIP Cores Consoles and Control Rooms Test Equipments RAM Equipment (5G) Packet cores (5G)

The purpose and scope of the FRMCS Plugtests event are to test independently and jointly all components of the Mobile communication System for Railways. Railway-related test cases are available in ETSI TS 103 564. Additional railway-oriented test cases focusing on GSM-R Interworking and Migration and Interconnection for MC services will also be developed for this Plugtests.

Who can participate?

Vendors which develop and produce above mentioned equipment. All vendors must actively participate in the testing railway features. Products have to support Rail features like functional aliases, multi-talker, etc. Observers, which can be government organisations, mobile network operators, railways operators, users, agencies or regulators. Observers are welcome to help define the scope (i.e.functionality to be tested) for this event and to evaluate the tests statistics in the TRT (Test Reporting Tool).  New Vendors and Observers have to sign the Rules of Engagement and Non-Disclosure Agreement of the MCX Plugtests Programme to participate.

What are the advantages of attending the FRMCS Plugtests event?

To assess the level of interoperability of your implementations To validate your understanding of the standards To test with (many) other real implementations and demonstrate end-to-end interoperability To debug your implementation: early bug fixing, saving time and costs To promote the technology and the ecosystem

The Plugtests observer program

The focus of the observer program will be to examine and discuss the progress of deployment and the challenges of FRMCS. The observer program will be held onsite and will provide a platform to the various stake holders in railways to discuss the progress of FRMCS. 

The observer program will also include interoperability demos from interested vendors, which will show how their solutions meet the FRMCS Plugtests test cases and observer scenario use cases.

PLUGTESTS events are organized by ETSI and are co-funded by the European Union and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).

Event Technology: Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV)

ETSI is pleased to support the TelecomTV Support Systems Summit, taking place on 23-24 April.

Building on the foundational work of the Telcos and Public Cloud Summit, this event, now in its third year, has matured to focus on the use of public cloud technologies for the next generation of operation and business support systems (OSS and BSS).

The convergence of OSS, BSS and technology stacks is an increasingly important enabler as CSPs continue their evolution to being DSPs. This summit explores how a unified layer supporting both operations and business processes can help eliminate traditional technology silos. By using public cloud capabilities, DSPs can benefit from scalability and performance boosts, while enhancing data security and extensibility.

Lingli Deng, ETSI ISG NFV, WG SOL Vice-Chair will join the panelists in the panel discussion: Deploying Next-gen OSS and BSS on Public Cloud, on Day two: Wednesday 24 April 2024 (16:00 CEST, Paris time). The panel will address: 

The public cloud is increasingly used and trusted by telcos, especially in the traditional OSS and BSS (operational and business support systems) sector. What are the technology and business drivers behind this move and what additional support capabilities does the public cloud offer to telcos? Would a public cloud-based solution create better data integration and is there value in aligning the OSS and BSS technology to create a unified, cloud-based layer? How should a telco go about modernising its support systems, and replacing and deploying next-generation solutions?

Check out the detailed agenda and Register now to watch the live broadcast on 23-24 April and hear from industry experts.
