Talk:GSM-R

message: The article looks like a collection of unordered brain- and picturedumps. While most of the content is appropriate, the article itself might be extended to be a bit more descriptive. It contains various lists of features but does not really describe their meaning. I added a reference to the SRS documents that references those features. Some of the documented features are incomplete and they differn in their granularity.
Instead of listing a whole lot of products it should provide more information, what GSM-R is really used for and how the provided features are used.
=== Categorization of Uses ===
The article describes two kindes of usages: Main Usage and Other Usage.
Those categories are not really appropriate as data communication might be more widespread, but is not really a special GSM-R feature. The data features are easy to adapt, but the goal is to replace analog radio communication by GSM-R. So VGCs, Broadcast-Calls and especially the functional registration are important features and not just side usages.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:6F8:1183:1:96DB:C9FF:FEF7:D706 (talk) 21:23, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

message: where is GSM-R deployed these days? 59.144.163.16 11:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: GSM-R is actually deployed on French East High speed line (LGV Est) for a commercial use (TGV POS and ICE trains). I ever done tests on GSM-R network on Switzerland (Rail Networks near Berne) and German Rail Networks (near Stuttgart), Rotterdam in Netherlands, Madrid in Spain, Trondheim in Norway, Upsala in Sweden, Roma in Italy (yes I really go there, that's a lot of places!!!), but I don't know if it's actually in use on commercial lines.

thread_title:  GSM-R deployment 

message: When mobil phones (cell phones) had already become as lightweight as 0,3 kg and affordable for quite some people in Austria, I think about 1995, the Austrian Railway ÖBB offered in some modern railway waggons a telephone booth to be used by passengers, You needed the telephon cards (value is booked down in units of 1 ATS then) of the Austrian Telekom, which has to be used (until nowadays) in a growing part of the automated telephon booths in the streets. Possibly the system was based on GSM-R. 91.141.93.42 (talk) 09:37, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  public phone booth in waggon in Austria have been GSM-R? 

message: I've updated the section with the frequency bands (India, China, South Africa, Australia).
Referring to the german wiki-site: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM-R#Verwendung and a presentation from Kapsch, an Austrian Rail infrastructure and GSM-R-supplier http://www.antt.gov.br/html/objects/_downloadblob.php?cod_blob=6579 (might require a second click for the pdf to download) there are many more countries that implemented / are implementing GSM-R. I've listed these countries below. It would be appreciable if somebody could find out more about which frequencies are used in each country.
in ITU-Region 1:
Kazakhstan,
Turkmenistan,
Usbekistan,
Israel (uncertain),
Iran,
