Frequentis has implemented the Unified Railway Communication and Application (URCA) system to fulfil the FTA’s need for a cost saving transitional solution to the future GSM-R replacement. Finnish railway users can now use VIRVE - the Finnish Public Safety digital TETRA radio network - and public mobile networks for all railway-specific communication functionalities, allowing greater flexibility to follow the future evolution of such networks, as well as ensuring less dependency on one specific communication standard. This is the first railway specific bearer independent communication (BIC) solution.
