The Norwegian railway operator, Bane NOR, has chosen Frequentis to upgrade its railway dispatcher terminals with the DICORA x20 system, significantly enhancing railway communications. The contract also includes ongoing support and maintenance. From 1 January 2025, Frequentis started to fulfil the extended maintenance service of Bane NOR’s current Fixed Terminal System. The new DICORA x20 terminals featuring the latest advancements are set to be delivered to Bane NOR’s live system by Q2 2025. 

“We are pleased to be working with Bane NOR on this communication enhancement for their railway network. By increasing controller efficiency, rail journeys can become even safer and more streamlined,” says Thomas Karl, Frequentis Vice President Public Transport. 

“Frequentis provides high quality of product and services, which is very suitable for Bane NOR dispatcher’s requirements. The DICORA communication system plays an important role in daily control room workflows for railway operation safety,” says Jan Erik Grytdal, Head of ICT Radio Services, Bane NOR. 

This direct contract with Bane NOR reinforces a long-term relationship since 2006 built on trust and mutual benefits. The project aims to modernise dispatcher communication, introducing advanced features that enhance the daily operations of control room dispatchers, and is set to ease the transition to the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS), a next-generation technology framework. 

As the project progresses, passengers and railway operators alike can expect enhanced communication that promises to make railway journeys safer and more efficient. This deep-rooted partnership is set to enable a modernised, reliable, and future-ready railway system in Norway
