# SYSTRA is preparing the radio transformation of British rail

SYSTRA UK & Ireland will support the RSSB, an independent body working to
improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the British railway
network, in the deployment on this network of the strategic programme called
FRMCS, or Future Railway Mobile Communication System, telecommunications
equipment that will replace the aging GSM-R system.

## The key to success: the international expertise of SYSTRA

The assignment entrusted to us by RSSB is to develop strategic options and a
proposed roadmap to support the industry’s transition to FRMCS, which will be
reviewed and taken forward by RSSB and relevant stakeholders.

SYSTRA’s unique approach is based on the methodologies and lessons learned from
our initial projects using this type of technology in Australia and continental
Europe, while ensuring strong involvement from all British stakeholders
(Department for Transport, Office of Rail and Road, Network Rail, London St.
Pancras Highspeed, railway operators, industrial suppliers, etc.).

Among our key deliverables are a report on the migration strategy, a framing
presentation for industry groups, and a strategic outline. This work will be
carried out jointly by the teams from SYSTRA UK & Ireland and SYSTRA Australia &
New Zealand, along with our local partner JF Rail Consulting, while drawing on
the expertise of the Group acquired in France and Denmark.
