The Ministry of Railways and Transport of Turkmenistan held talks with representatives from Huawei of China, focusing on the modernization of the Turkmenbashi Ashgabat Turkmen Abat railway line. Huawei proposes to promote line electrification in stages, integrate AI technology and upgrade to FRMCS modern railway communication standards, and deepen infrastructure cooperation between China and Turkey.

AI platform focuses on three major areas

Huawei's proprietary transportation AI platform focuses on three major areas: improving traffic safety, automating processes, and predicting equipment failures. Both parties have clarified that the GSM-R communication standard will gradually transition to FRMCS, which can reuse existing fiber optic lines. At the same time, they will explore network security and compliant use of the 1900 MHz frequency band, and confirm their willingness to jointly promote joint infrastructure projects.

Urgent demand for railway upgrade

Turkmenistan is advancing the modernization of its railway system with the goal of creating a transit hub for the Eurasian continent. The existing railway communication and infrastructure are no longer suitable for efficient transportation needs. FRMCS, as an advanced high-speed transportation protocol, has become the core direction of railway upgrading. Huawei has mature technology in the field of railway digitization, and its solutions are in line with the needs of improving railway quality and cost control in Turkey.

Deeply cultivating the infrastructure market in Central Asia

Huawei's proposal is a key measure for expanding the intelligent railway market in Central Asia, relying on its own advantages in AI and communication technology to output customized solutions, while balancing technological upgrades and cost savings. This move not only helps Turkmenistan improve its railway infrastructure and transportation efficiency, but also deepens the coordination between China and Turkey in infrastructure construction, consolidating Huawei's layout advantages in the high-tech infrastructure field in Central Asia.Editor/Gao Xue
