VIAVI Advances Railway Communication Modernization as Part of the MORANE-2 Project
VIAVI Solutions (NASDAQ: VIAV) has announced its participation in the MORANE-2 project, a European initiative testing Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) specifications. As one of few monitoring suppliers in the project, VIAVI will deploy its EVOIA Drive Test and EVOIA Assure solutions to test and monitor FRMCS prototypes, which will replace the current GSM-R system expected to phase out by 2030.
The MORANE-2 project will run for 34 months (2024-2027) and aims to validate product development standards for railway communications. The project will help include FRMCS specifications in the Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI), ensuring efficient, sustainable, and resilient railway communications across Europe.

Insights
VIAVI strategically positions in European railway communications modernization through MORANE-2 project participation, supporting future FRMCS standards development.
VIAVI Solutions' participation in the MORANE-2 project represents strategic positioning in a significant infrastructure transition occurring across European railways. As one of only a few monitoring suppliers supporting this project, VIAVI is helping validate the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) specifications intended to replace the current GSM-R system, which begins phasing out by 2030.
The company will deploy two key solutions: EVOIA Drive Test for network deployment and EVOIA Assure for monitoring FRMCS prototypes in both laboratory and real-world railway environments. VIAVI's technical contributions include designing metrics, defining KPIs, and providing testing solutions to ensure the new communications infrastructure supports critical applications like the European Train Control System and Automatic Train Operation.
The 34-month MORANE-2 project (2024-2027) represents a critical phase in railway communications modernization, as it will help establish Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) - the standards that ensure system compatibility across European railways. By participating in this standards development phase, VIAVI positions itself with technical expertise in a system that will eventually be implemented across European rail networks.
VIAVI demonstrates industry commitment through active participation in railway sector events, including the UIC FRMCS Global Conference and as a first-time exhibitor at InnoTrans, the world's largest railway exhibition. Their membership in UNIFE (European rail supply industry association) further cements their presence in this sector, which is undergoing digital transformation toward more efficient, sustainable communications infrastructure.
Industry-leading test and validation solutions from VIAVI ensure FRMCS prototypes meet evolving European railway communication needs
The current Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway (GSM-R) is expected to begin its phase out by 2030 and FRMCS is emerging as a clear successor. VIAVI's EVOIA Drive Test will be used to help deploy the new FRMCS network. In addition, EVOIA Assure will monitor and evaluate FRMCS prototypes in both laboratory settings and on railway tracks to ensure they meet the evolving demands of current and future rail networks. This includes support for the European Train Control System (ECTS), Automatic Train Operation (ATO), and real-time data and video services.
"We are proud to contribute to MORANE-2, a groundbreaking initiative to ensure efficient, sustainable and resilient railway communications," said Max Beccuti, Railway Product Line Manager, VIAVI. "As a leader in mission-critical network testing and measurement, VIAVI contributes to this project by designing technical metrics, defining KPIs, and offering state-of-the-art monitoring and active test solutions for testing FRMCS network specifications."
MORANE-2 aims to validate product development standards and is expected to run for 34 months between 2024 – 2027. The project will enable the inclusion of FRMCS specifications in the Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI), which defines the technical and operational standards that each subsystem, or part of a subsystem, must meet to satisfy essential requirements and ensure the interoperability of railway systems. A collaborative European initiative funded by
VIAVI has demonstrated its robust test, measurement and monitoring solutions at several events. In the railway sector, this included making a presentation at the 2024 UIC (International Union of Railways) FRMCS Global Conference in
