The upgrade provides LTG Group with infrastructure solutions that support the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) — the next-generation wireless standard for railway communications, replacing GSM-R.
The companies behind the upgrade will also provide seven years of service and support for the newly installed equipment.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Ribbon on this significant network upgrade for LTG,” said Aurimas Žlibinas, head of enterprise at Telia Lithuania. “This project underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that enhance the safety and efficiency of railway operations in the Baltics.”
