Nokia and Deutsche Bahn (DB) have announced the implementation of the “world’s first” commercial 1900 MHz 5G radio network, featuring a 5G Standalone (SA) core, on live outdoor test tracks in Germany. This deployment enables DB to utilise a “modern” mobile network specifically allocated for 5G railway communications in Europe. We are proud to deliver the first-ever commercial 5G solution that utilises the 1900 MHz spectrum band on the rail track. This contract builds on DB’s ongoing trials with Nokia’s 5G SA core and 3700 MHz (n78) radio network, while introducing the new 1900 MHz (n101) 5G radio network equipment from Nokia’s AirScale portfolio. This project seeks to modernise the GSM-R core network of the Netherlands’ national railway.
