The Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is a single global standard for railway communications for wireless mobile communications in the 5G era. It will replace the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM-R), sunset [or terminated] by 2030. For passengers, the new standard will make video a key use case as well as content about railway stations. One of the primary use cases is IoT data to track rolling stock and tracks and the predictive maintenance of railway assets.

Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg project, an autonomous railway project, is another pathbreaking project under implementation.
