15 Today JBV has implemented GSM-R to ensure to safe and reliable operations Challenges Aging communications system Difficult terrain and tunnels Tight time schedule Solution Complete turnkey project with proven GSM-R technology Fast rollout capabilities Strong local presence to enable close cooperation We were working under hard time pressure because the Norwegian rail approval authority defined for JBV very strong milestones. That was a challenge but we ended up with something that is working perfectly and we are very satisfied with the systems and solutions from Nokia Siemens Networks, The strong local presence of Nokia Siemens Networks was key for the success of that project. Harald Nicolaysen, GSM-R Project Director, JBV Benefits Reduced OPEX Improved safety and security Future proof platform for new applications and services 15 Nokia Siemens Networks

16 Today Experiences and lessons learned Site aquisition Start on time, can delay a project Organisation Demand a proper project organisation from Vendor Ensure a proper mirror organisation in BaneDanmark Involve the End-Users from the beginning Users workshops/conferences Define a clear migration strategy Rolling stock migration (Cab radios) Legislation needed? Ensure purchase of a well proven and standardized solution 16 Nokia Siemens Networks

23 Example of a GSM-R evolution GSM Evolution 2G GSM, GPRS, EDGE 3G UMTS, HSPA LTE GSM-R GSM-R Standardization of LTE- R, 3GPP, UIC LTE-R Railway operators do benefit from the evolution in public networks. Fulfilling railway requirements, GSM-R is based on proven and mature GSM products and technology. This success can be repeated with LTE/LTE-R. The adaption of 3G for railways is not mandatory because of longer investment cycles and operational needs and the advent of LTE. 23 Nokia Siemens Networks

24 Reasons for a GSM-R evolution Based on the introduction of the first LTE networks for public operators, the accelerated necessity to adapt this standard for railway specific requirements is obvious. The benefits of this new technology and the support of a long, smooth upgrade period, which gives every flexibility and saves taken investments, are a real opportunity. Early adaption of new technologies supports the railway operations in unknown flexibility for internal and external purposes. Railway operators have fixed their future, operational needs. Pre-condition of this approach is the preparation of the necessary standardization work for railway requirements today. 24 Nokia Siemens Networks

25 2/3G to LTE transition Fundamentals for a smooth transition of subscribers to LTE Protection of investments from current GSM-R to LTE-R (infrastructure and terminals) Transparent mobility and roaming across domains Consistency of 2/3G/LTE services Equivalent or improved Quality of Service, e.g. voice quality and call set-up times No disruption of essential regulatory services 25 Nokia Siemens Networks
