🇪🇺 Europe’s railways are entering a new digital era 🚆
As the sector moves from #GSMR to 5G-based #FRMCS and scales up #ERTMS, the cyber-attack surface is expanding fast. A new white paper from the Datacom Industry Association urges the rail industry to prioritise cyber resilience as a core pillar of Europe’s #SmartMobility strategy. Secure digital rail is critical infrastructure.

The @datacom_ia was in Madrid today! 🇪🇸
Secretary General @dot Trossen joined the #6G-XR Impact Day to discuss immersive 5G/6G connectivity and its role across industries.
The event marks 3 years of EU-funded R&D in extended reality (XR) through the 6G-XR project, building experimental platforms across Finland 🇫🇮 and Spain 🇪🇸 to test future 6G applications like holography and digital twins.
🚀 A New Era for Communication Systems in Europe! On September 29th, the @datacom_ia Industry Association (DIA) hosted its first major event and brought together 85+ thought leaders from across Europe. "Addressing Grand Challenges Through Communication Systems," focused on how tech innovations can tackle some of society's biggest issues.

🎤 On location at the @datacom_ia Event in Munich where @ThomasBayrhof (DB) is speaking on digital rail transformation and the imminent end of GSM‑R.
This is more than a tech swap — it’s a systems challenge: interoperability, national/regional coordination, infrastructure renewal.
