3 GSM-R IG general update The GSM-R Industry Group has 9 members with rotating responsibilities. GSM-R MIG (Marketing Group) Speaker: Thomas Wesenberg Wenzel Elektronik Deputy: Corrado Brena Alstom GSM-R TIG (Technical Group) Speaker: Markus Myslivec Frequentis Deputy: Valerio Di Claudio SELEX Elsag Next planned change of speakers: April, 2013 Quarterly regular IG meetings joint by ERA and UIC representatives # 3

4 Developing GSM-R specifications ERA and UIC together with Railways and Industry are pushing forward the harmonisation and specification process GSM-R Baseline 0 revision 3 has been released by ERA for European Countries. The parallel UIC specification EIRENE FRS / SRS is also used in countries outside Europe. Possible feature candidates for the next baseline: enhanced Railway Emergency Call, improved Cell Reselection, ETCS over GPRS, revised Quality of Service requirements, improvement of border crossing specifications - Economic evaluation of every feature to be considered too MI CR and IR PQM (UIC supported by ERA) not MI maintenance release e.q. EIRENE 7.3.1/ CCM (ERA supported by UIC, IG...) EIRENE release update Baseline update (e.q. b0r4) e.q / or or main release new Baseline (e.q. b1) e.q / CR = Change Request, IR = Implementation Report PQM = PreQualification Management MI = Mandatory for Interoperability CCM = Change Control Management 4

5 Certification and authorisation process EC decisions 2008/57/EC and CCS TSI 2012/88/EU guarantee harmonization, interoperability, border crossing operation, open markets. Interoperability test cases for cab radio, EDOR and SIM under preparation by ERA With a certification from a Notified Body on the interoperability constituents (Cab Radios, EDOR (ETCS data only radio), SIM Cards) the certification process should be fulfilled. We experience tests being repeated at national level to achieve the National Authority certification. Goal: To have one certification from a Notified Body accepted by all Member States. We strongly support the CER/UNIFE approach of ERA becoming single issuing authority in Europe. 5

6 GSM-R market penetration In Europe GSM-R is in operation on 70,000 km of track and 84,000 km more are planned to be covered in addition. *) GSM-R is expanding worldwide: 138,000 km are planned to be covered outside of Europe. **) GPRS on GSM-R is in operation/planned in the following European implementations (map = colored in green): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Euro Tunnel, France, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Swiss and the UK. *) UIC e-news 311 **) Kapsch CarrierCom, Nokia Siemens Networks 6

7 GSM-R coverage level For high quality voice and ETCS data service it is important to have good GSM-R coverage. EIRENE SRS : [ ] the coverage level is defined as the field strength at the antenna on the roof of a train [ ] With baseline 0 Revision 3 the following values became MI (Mandatory for Interoperability) Voice and non-safety critical data ETCS levels 2/3 Speed (km/h) Level (dbm) > Coverage Level in European Countries (UIC) ETCS coverage level (dbm) Voice coverage level (dbm) 7

8 Latest developments The industry s latest main developments are: IG is involved in the upcoming Baseline/EIRENE version Development towards IP, e. g. GPRS/EDGE, Rel. 4, SIP interface Involvement in EC s TEN 3rd call project: Develop ETCS over GPRS solution together with UIC, ERTMS Users Group, UNISIG and Railways Update GSM-R compatibility testing Support ERA for baseline update GSM-R optimisation concerning the public network interference issue: filters, new modules, improved GSM-R coverage 8

9 ETCS over GPRS project ETCS over GPRS Working Group in progress, currently Phase 1 3 Railways (RFF -2012, Network Rail -2013, Banedanmark 2014) 2 GSM-R European network suppliers (Kapsch CarrierCom, Nokia Siemens Networks) 5 EDOR / radio module providers (Alstom, Funkwerk, Selex Elsag, Siemens, Sierra Wireless) GPRS/EDGE relevant Technical Features identified Traffic Model for testing in approval phase Test cases list in revision Test specification for EDOR functional validation started GSM-R IG is responsible for the elaboration of the engineering guidelines 9

10 Current situation, short/mid term activities GSM-R is successful, it s up and running in most of the European Countries, but the market is significantly slowing down because of the economic crisis. Decisions are frequently delayed, hindering long-term business planning. The GSM-R industry is impacted by this. Nevertheless, the GSM-R Industry Group members continuously participate in the ERA Control Group and the ERA CCS WP, have regular coordination meetings with the ERA GSM-R core team, are involved in the ERTMS MoU Steering committee. 10

11 Expected life cycle of GSM-R New upcoming technology with exponentially higher bandwidth encourages railways to go for new operational applications. The GSM-R IG is convinced that a future technology will initially coexist with the current technology for a decade or more. Coexistence with the future technology will be actively supported. In the long term a smooth migration will occur. The Industry Group is committed to long term support of GSM-R: the GSM-R technology will be supported for at least a further 15 years. 11
