#1 GSM-R dispatcher terminal market share
Public Transport solutions leverage more than seventy years of experience focusing on safety-critical communications and applications. Cross-industry expertise gained from supporting control centre communication sets the foundation for industry-leading railway and urban transport solutions. With its strong position in operations communication, as well as incident and crisis management, the company also holds the number one market share in GSM-R dispatcher terminal positions; more than 10,000 units have been delivered to customer control centres in over 25 countries.
Railways around the world are leaving decentralised ways of working behind, moving toward consolidated control centres rather than relying on individual controllers at local train stations and signal boxes. Traffic management is being introduced and efficient cooperation of all stakeholders is key. Up-to-date operational data supports this collaboration, enabling railway controllers to seamlessly and efficiently manage operational resources, make better informed decisions, and communicate more precisely in every situation.
To achieve the required standardisation and centralisation, railway infrastructure companies must overcome a few common challenges – finding solutions that meet the needs of various current and future roles within the organisation, integrating with existing ecosystems, being ready for future add-ons, and the ability to be implemented with minimal disruption to live systems. With its fixed-terminal system platform, Frequentis can help to overcome these obstacles, migrating toward Future Railway Mobile Communication System, and facilitating any digital radio network for unified communication.
The Operations Communication Manager (OCM) delivers the tools to support a next-generation working position for railway controllers. OCM unifies communications within a single Frequentis Audio Hub and a role-specific user interface.
Break down the silos of applications in railway operations to enable new levels of efficiency, safety and service continuity. By aggregating all relevant information that controllers need to ensure smooth railway operations within a single user interface, the Operations Communication Manager enables a user experience of a new kind.
By capturing every interaction between control centres and transport operators, public transport organisations can improve operational efficiency and investigation of incidents. Discover more about advanced safety-critical recording with DIVOS here.

The ongoing shift from decentralised to centralised operations requires a holistic solution tailor-made to the needs of railway operators that connects all relevant stakeholders and streamlines their incident management workflow. Based on a comprehensive product suite, this solution leads the operator through incidents and emergencies, instantly identifying internal and external stakeholders, automating and streamlining the communication process, while also logging every activity to satisfy legal requirements.
The Incident and Crisis Management solution introduces a resolution workflow based on the time, location and classification of the occurrence in order to allow operators in the control centre and staff onsite to efficiently handle planned events, operational and technical incidents, as well as emergency and crisis situations. Supporting centralised and decentralised incident management structures, this solution also ensures safety management system compliant handling, as well as documentation and reporting of incidents. It is the right choice for any railway company looking for a cost-effective tool that can be deployed within a short timeframe.
Together with CNS Solutions, member of the Frequentis Group, we make efficient and effective incident handling happen.

Incident & Crisis Management (Frequentis Explainer)
Train delays, capacity restrictions, accidents – railway incidents have negative impacts on regular rail operation. In a competitive environment, where rail companies must operate quickly, economically, reliably, punctually, and of course safely, incident management becomes a major differentiator.
Security (Frequentis Explainer)
Most control room operators have a strong focus on safety. Successful cyber-attacks can disrupt such critical procedures. IT security threats are one possible root cause for safety hazards.
Legislators globally have reacted to this problem by enacting new laws targeting cybersecurity of vital infrastructures. At the same time, integrating IT security practices with safety requirements is not necessarily easy as many common security practises conflict with safety. At times, organisations may feel that they are in a no-win scenario. So how can security be achieved in a safety-critical context?
