  1. InfoTrans 2010 The Future of Railway communications Detlef Hoffmann Regional Sales Director St. Petersburg, 28th October 2010

  2. Railway operators require absolutely safe and reliable communication infrastructure • Passengers demand • Fast & secure train connections • Punctuality • Reliable & transparent information • – and all this at reasonable costs Railway challenges • Improve traveling experience - increase passenger numbers and revenues • Increase freight capacity and revenues • Ensure safety of passengers and staff • Reduce operational costs to be profitable • Build a mission-critical communication platform • Manage the transformation from circuit-switched to all-IP packet environment Our railway customers settle for nothing less than 99.999% carrier-grade reliability

  3. How Nokia Siemens Networks can help GSM-Railway ensures safe and reliable operations for trains • Improve interoperability, enhance safety, and reduce costs with a single, streamlined and future oriented digital radio system • Support greater signaling, safety and security demands of high-speed travel (ERTMS*) • Transmit Railway applications via GPRS More bandwidth with Broadband on trains Variety of Railway applications • Enable a wide range of broadband applications in trains • Provide real-time services for train personal and passengers • Complement GSM-R as basis for a comprehensive railway communications solution • Increase attractiveness of train travel to generate more revenues • Improve security through remote security monitoring • Offer an unlimited range of Internet-based information, news, and entertainment services *) ERTMS: European Rail Traffic Management System

  4. Old communication systems: Expensive to maintain, not interoperable Trackto train radio Shuntingradio Paging Automatictrain control Tunnel radio Vehicle mountedradio Operation & maintenance radio

  5. GSM-Railway: One integrated and standardized solution GSM-R

  6. Interoperable railway functionality on one standard platform: GSM-Rfrom Railway Industry Group GSM-R • Dynamic group communication • SMS to functional numbers • Advanced dispatcher solutions Value-addedservices • Functional & location-dependent addressing • High-priority call confirmations • High-speed: 500 km/h EIRENE functionality • Voice Group Call Service • Voice Broadcast Service • Enhanced Multi-Level Precedence & Pre-emption GSM enhancementsfor railways (by ETSI) • All functionalities can be used with GSM-R ETSI GSM functionality

  7. GSM-R Industry Group, founded in 2001 and has currently 9 Industry members Who is the GSM-R Industry Group ? • GSM-R Infrastructure • GSM-R Mobile Stations • GSM-R Dispatcher Systems ...dedicated to support GSM-R: 4 all hands meetings per year plus numerous specialist & authority meetings, workshops, feasibility studies etc etc 7

  8. The GSM-R market leader: 27 contracts in 19 countries Nokia Siemens Networks:Outstanding competence as a railway supplier

  9. Germany Belgium Switzerland Greece Spain 11 Nokia Siemens Networks GSM-R references countries in Europe Sweden 7.500 km End-to-end network supplier incl. infrastructure (MSC, radio NW, terminals) Finland 5.000 km End-to-end supplier incl. infrastructure (MSC, radio NW, terminals, disp. system) Denmark Sweden Norway Finland Norway 3.000 km End-to-end supplier incl. infrastructure (MSC, radio NW, terminals, disp. system) Netherlands 3.000 km End-to-end supplier via KPN-joint venture incl. infrastructure (MSC, radio NW, terminals) Belgium 3.000 km End-to-end network supplier incl. infrastructure (MSC, radio NW, terminals) Switzerland 3.200 km End-to-end supplier incl. infrastructure (MSC, radio NW, terminals), full managed services Netherlands Spain HSL+ ext lines End-to-end supplier incl. infrastructure (MSC, radio NW, terminals) Italy 7.500 km End-to-end network MV integration on Roma Napoli HSL incl. infrastructure (MSC, radio NW, terminals) Italy Portugal

  10. 8 Nokia Siemens Networks GSM-R countries outside Central Europe • Australia • DoT Victoria Melbourne • China • 5 projects & 2 high speed lines • India • 4 commercial projects • Libya • 1 commercial project • Russia • GSM-R pilot • Saudi Arabia • SRO & North-south mineral line • Tunisia • Phase 1 GSM-R project • Turkey • 1 commercial project

  23. Main drivers for a Next Generation Railway Communication System • Leveraging the 3GPP eco systemFollowing the 3GPP path to continuously benefit from most successful communication system, guaranteeing interworking and global roaming. Railways should use LTE successor technology for their GSM networks (skipping UMTS). Technologic evolution • Increasing use of data applications and new operational services requires efficient networks • Surveillance, passenger services. • LTE offers more than changing the radio i/f. Broadband applications • Simplified network structure, advanced configuration and supervision technology (e.g. SON - Self Organizing Networks) • Automation reduces human faults, • Self healing networks, speed-up maintenance. Operational improvements

  24. Simplified network structure, advanced configuration & supervision, e.g. SON (Self Organizing Networks) Self-healing • Automated preventive corrections • Minimized network outages Quality Self-optimization • Optimal use of capacity • Maximized availability Self-configuration • Automated BTS/eNB deployments • Faster roll-out OPEX
