TASSTA at the 5th ETSI FRMCS Plugtests in Paris: What We Tested and Why It Matters

In October 2025, TASSTA participated in the 5th ETSI FRMCS Plugtests hosted by UIC in Paris. This event is part of the ETSI MCX Plugtests Programme and is designed to validate real interoperability between mission-critical (MCX) solutions and multi-vendor 5G/IMS core networks.

What is FRMCS and why Plugtests exist

FRMa Railway Mobile Communication System) is the railway industry’s next-generation communication system, intended to replace GSM-R with broadband, secure and interoperable services.

The Plugtests series is ETSI’s way to ensure that different vendors’ implementations actually work together in practice — not just on paper.

ETSI’s goals for the event:

– confirm interoperability between vendors
– validate understanding of 3GPP/ETSI standards
– help implementers find and resolve issues early

The 5th edition brought together a large multi-vendor lab with more than 170 participants, simulating an environment close to real railway deployments.

TASSTA’s setup in the lab

We brought:
– TASSTA T.Quasar MCX Application Server
– our MCX client(s)

This allowed us to integrate and test against multiple 5G cores from different vendors in a shared interoperability lab.

This is important because in live railway networks, MCX services must operate reliably across whichever 5G core an operator chooses. Demonstrating multi-vendor compatibility is therefore a key milestone for market readiness.

The test areas we executed

All test cases were taken from ETSI’s MCX Plugtests scenario specification ETSI TS 103 564.

1. MCPTT Group Calling (on-demand / ad-hoc)

What we tested
– Creating an ad-hoc MCPTT group call on demand, without security
[CONNMCPTT/ONN/GROUP/ADHOC/ONDEM/NOSEC/NFC/02]
– Releasing that ad-hoc group call
[CONNMCPTT/ONN/GROUP/ADHOC/ONDEM/NOSEC/NFC/03]

In simple terms
We verified that a user can start a spontaneous push-to-talk group — for example, “all staff in this station right now” — and later end it cleanly. The group is created dynamically by the MCX system and correctly transported through the 5G core.

2. Floor Control (who is allowed to talk, when)

MCPTT is not like a normal voice call — only one person (or a controlled set of people) speaks at a time. The mechanism that manages this is Floor Control (FC).

Basic FC
– Effect of priorities
[FC/BASIC/02]

Advanced FC
– Revoking the floor when a timer expires (T2)
[FC/ADV/01]
– Queueing requests after release
[FC/ADV/02]
– Queueing requests after revoke
[FC/ADV/03]

Awareness and special cases
– Functional Alias (FA) display during FC
[FC/FA/BASIC/01]
FA allows users to speak under a role (e.g., “Train Driver 17”) instead of a personal name.
– Multi-talker basic operation
[FC/MT/BASIC/01]
– Location sharing during FC
[FC/LOC/BASIC/01]
– Location sharing during multi-talker FC
[FC/MT/LOC/BASIC/01]

In simple terms
We validated that:
– the system correctly assigns the “right to speak”
– priority users override lower-priority requests
– the floor is revoked automatically if held too long
– queued talkers get their turn in order
– operators can immediately see who is speaking (via alias/role) and, when relevant, where they are — even in multi-talker situations

These are essential railway features, enabling dispatchers and field teams to maintain clear, disciplined voice communication in high-stress situations.

3. 5G QoS Integration (making mission-critical traffic “special” in the 5G core)

Mission-critical voice requires guaranteed quality (latency, priority, stability). In 5G, this is achieved via dedicated QoS flows.

We tested:
– Creating a unicast 5GS QoS flow via Rx
[PCC/5GSQOSFLOWSETUP/Rx/02]
– Creating a unicast 5GS QoS flow via N5
[PCC/5GSQOSFLOWSETUP/N5/02]
– Updating a unicast 5GS QoS flow via Rx
[PCC/5GSQOSFLOWUPDATE/Rx/02]

In simple terms

We checked that the TASSTA MCX server can request mission-critical treatment from the 5G core — using standard 3GPP policy control interfaces — for specific users’ media streams.
This allows the network to prioritize MCPTT traffic over normal data traffic, which is a core requirement for FRMCS deployment.

What we gained from the Plugtests

Even without sharing confidential results, the value is clear:
– Multi-vendor realism — testing our stack against diverse 5G cores and MCX implementations in one environment
– Standards confirmation — verifying our implementation aligns with ETSI/3GPP intent
– Early issue discovery — solving interoperability problems in the lab, before they appear in real railway networks

Why this matters for the railway industry

FRMCS will only succeed if:
1. vendors interoperate,
2. mission-critical QoS is correctly enforced in 5G cores,
3. railway-specific MCX behavior (roles, priorities, multi-talker logic, location) operates reliably.

This Plugtests edition showed the ecosystem moving from “specification compliance” to field-ready interoperability.

Thank you

Big thanks to ETSI Plugtests, UIC, and all participating vendors and operators for a highly collaborative environment.
TASSTA is proud to contribute to the maturity of FRMCS and MCX interoperability, and we will continue this work in upcoming ETSI/3GPP programmes.

T Mission: A New Standard in Critical Communication for Germany’s Emergency Services

Meeting today’s challenges head-on

For emergency services, communication is more than just exchanging words — it’s the foundation of safety and coordination. Fire brigades, police units, and disaster response teams depend on fast, secure connections to act decisively when lives are at stake. At Digital X 2025 in Cologne, Deutsche Telekom introduced T Mission, a portfolio built specifically to equip Germany’s first responders with modern, reliable tools for the digital age.

The challenge: modern demands, legacy systems

Germany’s emergency services have long relied on TETRA radio networks. While highly dependable for voice communication, these systems are limited when it comes to today’s operational demands — video sharing, live tracking, multimedia coordination, and real-time data. Responders increasingly need broadband solutions that can deliver all of this without sacrificing security or reliability.

The solution: T Mission with trusted partners

T Mission answers these demands with a full suite of mission-critical services (MCX) running on Telekom’s award-winning LTE and 5G network. The platform includes:
    • Mission-Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) — instant, secure group and individual voice communication, essential for fast coordination
      • Mission-Critical Push-to-Video (MCVIDEO) — live video sharing and streaming for real-time situational awareness
      • Mission-Critical Push-to-Data (MCDATA) — secure transmission of images, documents, and other operational data across teams
      • Dynamic talk groups that form automatically based on incident or location, reducing delays in coordination
      • AI-powered tools for noise cancellation and situational analysis in complex environments
      • BOS-Spur (Network Slicing) to guarantee network capacity for emergency services even under heavy load

    Telekom has partnered with TASSTA and Motorola Solutions to deliver this solution. Motorola provides the resilient infrastructure backbone, while TASSTA contributes its 3GPP-compliant MCX platform, already validated in real-world tests with German public safety organizations. Together, they create a communication environment that is both future-ready and field-proven.

    Real-world impact: more safety, less risk

    T Mission delivers tangible benefits for emergency services:

      • Guaranteed priority communication through MCPTT, MCVIDEO, and MCDATA, ensuring critical messages always get through
        • Faster decision-making powered by live video feeds, secure data exchange, and AI-assisted analysis
        • Seamless integration with TETRA, supporting a gradual and user-friendly transition to broadband-based systems
        • Future scalability across LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, and dedicated secure core networks

      As Gottfried Ludewig, Head of Public at Deutsche Telekom, explains:

      “With T Mission, we put a blue light on critical data. Voice, video, and information from first responders take priority in our network — ensuring faster coordination, clearer communication, and greater safety for teams in the field.”

      Looking forward

      Telekom plans to expand T Mission with Interworking Function (IWF) by 2026, creating a seamless bridge between MCX and TETRA. This step will enable organizations to adopt next-generation services like MCPTT, MCVIDEO, and MCDATA while maintaining trusted legacy systems during the transition.

      What is MCPTT (Mission Critical Push-to-Talk)?

      Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) is a global standard defined by 3GPP for secure, instant, and reliable voice communication over LTE and 5G networks. It is designed specifically for industries where communication is vital—such as public safety, emergency services, defense, transportation, utilities, and enterprise operations.

      MCPTT aims to provide the same level of reliability and functionality as traditional public safety Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems while leveraging the broader coverage and capabilities of commercial mobile networks. It enables users to communicate at the push of a button, similar to a walkie-talkie, but over cellular infrastructure like 4G and 5G.

      Why MCPTT is Critical for Modern Communication

      • Guaranteed Communication Under Any Circumstance
        MCPTT ensures prioritized access to communication networks during emergencies, natural disasters, or network congestion—when traditional systems often fail.

      • Interoperability and Standardization
        Built on 3GPP standards, MCPTT allows for seamless coordination across different agencies, technologies, and sectors.

      • Enhanced Situational Awareness
        In addition to voice communication, MCPTT systems often support tools for location tracking, status updates, and incident coordination—empowering faster and more informed decision-making.

      • Group Communication
        Supports both individual and group calls, streamlining collaboration within teams during time-critical operations.

      • Security
        Leverages the advanced security architecture of LTE networks, including encryption and authentication mechanisms.

      • Prioritization and Pre-emption
        Ensures that high-priority users and messages can bypass lower-priority traffic when necessary, guaranteeing that critical communication is never delayed.
