RideOnTrack Completes First FP2-MORANE-2 Test Case

We’re proud to share that RideOnTrack is the first company to successfully complete a test case within the FP2-MORANE-2 project — executed in the Ericsson lab against the Kontron FRMCS Server.

FP2-MORANE-2 is Europe’s Rail flagship project validating the FRMCS V2 specifications under realistic operational conditions. It’s the groundwork for the continent’s migration away from GSM-R toward a 5G-based, mission-critical railway communication system — the backbone that future train control, voice dispatching, and data-driven rail applications will run on.

This first test case validated the TS Controller interface — the interface through which  controller and dispatching applications connect into the FRMCS network. It’s a fitting place for us to reach a first, since it sits at the heart of what RideOnTrack does.

Being first to reach this point is a meaningful milestone. It shows that our FRMCS/MCX dispatching solution doesn’t just comply with the standard on paper, but interoperates correctly with the real network components — an Ericsson core and RAN, a Kontron FRMCS server — that European rail operators will depend on. Interoperability across vendors is one of the hardest parts of a migration this size, which makes reaching this stage an encouraging early signal.

It also reflects the role we’ve taken on in this project. As the leader of the dispatching work item, RideOnTrack has been closely involved in shaping how dispatcher communication works in FRMCS from the specification stage onward — so validating the controller interface first is a natural extension of that work.

Congratulations to our engineering team, and thank you to our project partners — Ericsson, Kontron, and the wider MORANE-2 community — for the close collaboration that made this possible. This work aligns with the vision for a future-proof railway network set by UIC and Europe’s Rail.

This is an early milestone with more to come.
