Rail
Shape today's and tomorrows's passenger and rail freight transportation.
We help enable operators to shape today’s and tomorrow’s passenger and freight transportation ‒ with trains, infrastructure, automation and electrification solutions, turnkey systems as well as related services. That covers trams, light rail, metro, commuter and regional trains, high-speed and very high-speed trains.
Overview
Everything you need to get started smoothly
Rolling stock
Public transportation must ensure that passengers are transported safely and comfortably while also meeting economic and environmental requirements. And passengers expect a comprehensive offering of information, entertainment and communication. Siemens Mobility has taken all of these factors into account in developing its vehicles, locomotives and automated people movers (VAL systems).

Communication solutions for rail networks
Secure & reliable communications for rail infrastructure
Communications that keep you moving
Siemens has a wide array of communication products and technologies, purpose-built to provide rail operators with the tools they need to keep their systems running smoothly. From integration with legacy infrastructure, to long-haul fiber backbones and widespread wireless connectivity for mobile and stationary applications – Siemens solutions have you covered. With global reach, Siemens has the knowledge, experience and solutions to be the complete end-to-end communications provider for the rail industry.
Onboard
Keeping passengers informed, maintaining safety onboard, managing and monitoring vehicle controls – all of these complex and critical functions require a robust network to keep information flowing. Railway operators face a unique challenge of maintaining a real-time awareness of what’s going on inside the train and of any factors that impact train operation.
In many cases today, networks for passenger information systems, vehicle control and management systems are maintained separately. With Siemens, these networks can be seamlessly integrated to share information, and to provide operators with a complete picture. Siemens’ comprehensive network solutions provide rail operators an opportunity to embrace network convergence and unify important streams of data to achieve greater operational efficiencies.
With a Siemens onboard Ethernet network, the possibilities are virtually endless, from services for passenger information to mission-critical operational data. Rail operators can also rest easy, knowing that Siemens products seamlessly integrate with legacy devices, allowing operators to leverage their existing network investments.
Highlights
- Multi-service backbone with 10-GigE uplinks, advanced layer 3 and MPLS routing service
- Migration of legacy copper cabling to support broadband Ethernet speeds
- Networking with zero failover time through HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) and PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol)
- Failover connection to field elements using a mobile communication network
- Advanced features for protection against cyber attacks
- Meets and exceeds railway-specific certifications for harsh environments, such as electromagnetic compatibility, temperature, humidity, shock and vibration
Wayside
For rail operators around the world, the ability to provide seamless communications between geographically dispersed field elements along railway tracks is crucial. This includes wayside signaling and interlocking systems, people safety systems and the communication to and from railway operation and control centers. Effective wayside communications and supporting systems prevent collisions between trains and road traffic, and ensure a safe, reliable and on-time operation of trains.
Operational processes like train separation, collision avoidance, line speed enforcement, temporary restrictions, rail wayside safety, and other processes, ensuring trains run safely, require a robust and integrated network infrastructure.
Safeguarding the railways investment is at the heart of Siemens’ strategy, based upon a long term support and development of railway communications infrastructure. Siemens has led some of the largest deployments of communications solutions for rail operators in the world, and is recognised globally for its customer support excellence, and for designing solutions that guarantee high performance and low total cost of ownership.

Mobile radio
In today’s demanding, high-speed world, passengers and cargo customers expect nothing less than perfection from a railway operator. In a business where even a five-minute delay can cause major problems, railway operators need to ensure that every designated member of their staff has access to the real-time operational information so they can make decisions to ensure train efficiency, safety and on-time performance.
Siemens’ high-performance mobile radio provides the basis for interconnected onboard and wayside applications. To extend Ethernet and IP networks over large distances, Siemens delivers reliable wireless solutions with broadband data rates, supporting real-time data, video, voice communications and mission-critical signaling or monitoring information between rail cars and the control center.
Siemens’ network solutions help rail operators prevent delays by running predictive maintenance to avoid problems before they occur. Cargo and freight operators benefit from real-time awareness of where cargo is along the route at all times, allowing operators to accurately determine arrival times.
