German rail infrastructure company DB Netz signed an eight-year contract with Nokia Networks to modernise its GSM-R network in southern Germany. Under the contract, Nokia Networks will replace the existing GSM-R radio systems with state-of-the-art technology, including the Flexi base station, and provide implementation services to ensure minimal impact on railway operations.
It will also deliver end-to-end implementation, exchanging complete site solutions including shelters, power supply and telecommunication equipment without significant interruption of railway traffic. Nokia Networks will also deliver long-term support to DB Netz’s GSM-R network with help from its European R&D centre in Hungary.
