Kontron, a leading global IoT technology company, announces the conclusion of a service contract with SNCF France (Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français) worth a three-digit million euro amount. The contract is the logical continuation of the long-term partnership between Kontron Transportation and SNCF (sncf-reseau.com). With this significant contract, Kontron Transportation emphasizes its strong capability to build mission-critical communication systems that meet current customer needs, positioning itself as a reliable and long-term trusted partner in the technology transition from GSM-R (Global System for Mobile Communication Railway) to Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS).
As a driving force in the definition of future communication standards, Kontron offers its customers the possibility of a smooth migration and coexistence between GSM-R and a next-generation communication standard like FRMCS.
This contract ensures the continued evolution of the mobile communication system to FRMCS, until approved for use on the customer networks and fully deployed. It also emphasises the continued existence of a comprehensive core network as well as Kontron’s specially developed AI-powered knowledge base.
“The continuity and safety of our railway communications are essential to operating the national network. This LTS contract with Kontron Transportation ensures long-term support until the deployment of the future FRMCS system,” says Sylvie Rerolle, Director of Telekom at SNCF RÉSEAU.
“We are delighted with the excellent cooperation and enduring partnership we have with SNCF. Since 2003, we have been a reliable supplier, system integrator, and partner for SNCF and now, we have sealed the continued collaboration for well over a decade. This agreement not only reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our clients but also underscores our position as a trusted and reliable partner in the industry,” says Richard Neussl, Managing Director of Kontron Transportation.
