Technical Challenges For Telecom
Companies To Build Wireless
Networks In The Railway Environment


 Communications Regulations and Management Conference
 November 5th & 6th 2008, London

 Michael Liem
 GSM-R Solution Manager
Introduction
Even for companies specializing in Wireless Telecom, the RF Engineering
 is by far the most critical and difficult issue when deploying a Wireless
          Network for the railway environment (such as GSM-R).




This presentation gives some key insights into these risks, the root causes for failure and
                provides practical recommendations for railway operators

Agenda

   Typical RF issues when deploying GSM-R - What’s the problem?



   Technical differences in RF Design for track-side communication networks as
   opposed to public wireless networks - Why are railways special?



   Inventory of key technical skills required in the Telecom Industry - Why do we
   have a problem?



   Associated risks for railway operators and possible mitigation options - How can
   we solve it?
