This means it can be easily integrated with SBB’s existing infrastructure without major disruptions to operations. The system will maintain seamless communication during the transition. It also supports ongoing standardisation efforts for railway communications, making the switch to future technologies such as 5G and MCX smoother for SBB.</p> <p>‘The new system will support SBB’s rail operations well into the next decade and underscores our commitment to providing best-in-class solutions to world-leading railways’, said Thomas Karl, Vice-President of Frequentis Public Transport, on September 23.</p></div><div id="storytext-end" class="storytext-end"></div> </div> </div> <div class="htmlContent"> </div> </div> <div class="topics"><div class="sleeve"><span class="topicsLabel"></span><h2>Topics</h2><ul class="topicsList"><li><a href="/news/infrastructure">Infrastructure</a></li><li><a href="/signalling/2457.subject">signalling</a></li><li><a href="/switzerland/84.subject">Switzerland</a></li><li><a href="/news/technology">Technology</a></li></ul></div></div> <div class="pageOptions"> <ul>  <li> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3a%2f%2fwww.railwaygazette.com%2ffrequentis-to-replace-sbb-communication-system%2f67447.article&e=Frequentis+to+replace+SBB+communication+system" class="facebook" title="Share this on Facebook" target="_blank"></a> </li>  <li> <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Frequentis+to+replace+SBB+communication+system&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.railwaygazette.com%2ffrequentis-to-replace-sbb-communication-system%2f67447.article" class="twitter" title="Share this on Twitter" target="_blank"></a> </li>  <li> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.railwaygazette.com%2ffrequentis-to-replace-sbb-communication-system%2f67447.article" class="linkedin" title="Share this on Linked in" target="_blank"></a> </li> <li><a href="mailto:?subject=Frequentis to replace SBB communication system&body=https://www.railwaygazette.com/frequentis-to-replace-sbb-communication-system/67447.article" class="email" title="Email this article"></a></li> </ul> <ul class="pageOptions_right"> <li class=" last" aria-live="polite" data-cache-bust="true" data-ajax-load-content="" data-url="/67447/bookmark"> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="rightcolumn" class="fixedrightcolumn rightcolumn restrictedcontent"> <div id="rightcolumn_sleeve">  <div data-mpu1-reflow></div> <div id="rhcreflow-tabletlandscape"></div> <div id="rhcreflow-desktop" class="rhc-mostpopular-desktop"> </div> <div id="rhcreflow-extra"></div> <div id="rhcreflow-extra-end" class="rhcreflow-extra-end"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container bottomAdContainer restrictedcontent"> <div class="inner-sleeve"> <div class="bottomAd"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container relatedVideos restrictedcontent"> <div class="inner-sleeve"> <div id="videosreflow-tabletportrait"></div> <div id="videosreflow-mobile"></div> </div> </div> <div class="container relatedArticles" id="relatedArticles"> <div class="inner-sleeve"> <div class="extras relatedarticles restrictedcontent"> <div class="relatedarticles_sleeve"> <div class="extras_heading"> <h3>Related articles</h3> </div> <div class="extrasStory listBlocks"> <div class="contentWrapper loadMoreItems" data-load-more-ajax=""> <ul data-load-more-context=""> <li class=""> <a href="https://www.railwaygazette.com/infrastructure/frequentis-awarded-sncf-reseau-communications-contract/64136.article" class="image"> <img alt="Trains at Paris Est" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width:767px) 100px, (max-width: 1179px) 220px, 280px" src="https://d1c4d7gnm6as1q.cloudfront.net/Pictures/100x67/7/4/5/57745_trainsatparisestphotojrmieanne_26930_crop.jpg" srcset="https://d1c4d7gnm6as1q.cloudfront.net/Pictures/100x67/7/4/5/57745_trainsatparisestphotojrmieanne_26930_crop.jpg 100w,https://d1c4d7gnm6as1q.cloudfront.net/Pictures/172x115/7/4/5/57745_trainsatparisestphotojrmieanne_26930_crop.jpg 172w,https://d1c4d7gnm6as1q.cloudfront.net/Pictures/220x148/7/4/5/57745_trainsatparisestphotojrmieanne_26930_crop.jpg 220w,https://d1c4d7gnm6as1q.cloudfront.net/Pictures/280x188/7/4/5/57745_trainsatparisestphotojrmieanne_26930_crop.jpg 280w" width="100" height="67" class="lazyloaded" /> </a> <div class="storyDetails"> <a href="https://www.railwaygazette.com/news/1013.type" class="storyType">News</a> <h3> <a href="https://www.railwaygazette.com/infrastructure/frequentis-awarded-sncf-reseau-communications-contract/64136.article">Frequentis awarded SNCF Réseau communications contract</a> </h3> <p class="meta"> <span class="date" data-date-timezone="{"publishdate": "2023-05-17T05:00:00Z","format": "D MMMM YYYY HH:mm"}">2023-05-17T05:00:00Z</span> <span class="author">By <a rel="author" href="https://www.railwaygazette.com/railway-gazette-international/1098.bio">Railway Gazette International</a></span> </p> <p> FRANCE: Infrastructure manager SNCF Réseau has selected Frequentis to develop and supply a customised voice and data communication system covering the entire national rail network, including high speed lines.
