[14:02]		*nobody (~nobody@wfjjzbpp46e7k.irc) has joined #techrights
[14:03]	nobody	so, i have a conclusive suspicion now what went wrong with the german railway system outages
[14:04]	nobody	see, here railway operates GSM-R, which is the "2G" mobile phone system, proven mostly reliable for decades
[14:04]	nobody	ITU-T/ETSI/3GPP standards compliant, certified for critical infrastructure and railway
[14:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	not heat related?
[14:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	wjat heappened?
[14:05]	nobody	schestowitz[TR2]: no, but it's thrilling, the whole thing
[14:05]	nobody	see, railway operate their _own_ mobile phone system, if that fails, entire railway fails
[14:05]	nobody	hence, they kept 2G
[14:06]	nobody	but, in recent years, the "5G" hype escalated, and all other mobile network operates rolled out 5G equipment in entire germany
[14:06]	nobody	schestowitz[TR2]: now comes the fun one, since January 2026 ministry of the interior issued an order
[14:07]	nobody	all such gear MUST be certified, in particular the 5G (since 2G hasn't caused that much trouble)
[14:07]	nobody	5G gear even must be certified when it's not deployed into critical railway systems
[14:07]	nobody	so, the first joke with this, all this 5G was rolled out already, WITHOUT certification
[14:08]	schestowitz[TR2]	days ago I joked about "6G"
[14:08]	schestowitz[TR2]	they do spam about it
[14:08]	schestowitz[TR2]	https://www.theregister.com/cse?q=sponsored ->
[14:08]	TR Bot	 Search - the register
[14:08]	nobody	for certification, for example, suppliers must not contact data of vendors, they must document ALL interfaces not covered by 3GPP standardization
[14:08]	nobody	obviously, a reasonable thing to do
[14:09]	nobody	however, at railway, they're stuck at 2G (since no other is certified), but they're working on the FRMCS (future railway mobile communications system)
[14:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	they can use normal radio
[14:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	like they always did
[14:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	nice and simple
[14:09]	nobody	and this FRMCS, guess what this is... 5G, that's not certified
[14:09]	nobody	but railway already "modernizes" their 2G equipment... you get the idea
[14:10]	nobody	now then during a "planned maintenance", swapping some core switch with another one caused a total outage for several hours
[14:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	even 2G is overkill
[14:10]	nobody	of cause, this is only speculation in theory, because they don't bother to tell which gear was swapped, and if that was certified
[14:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	i don't know all the train signalling
[14:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	but there is not that much to it
[14:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	and it is very low bandwidth
[14:11]	nobody	schestowitz[TR2]: i could say a word or two what i think about ITU-T/ETSI/3GPP, who are the institutions that standardize 2G/3G/4G/5G etc.
[14:12]	nobody	you can't easily access all those standards (20 years ago it was possible to download alot of those from 3gpp.org)
[14:12]	nobody	schestowitz[TR2]: the real "signaling", thats probably X.25, at least in germany it's the last known thing documented at wikipedia
[14:12]	nobody	but that's too complicated to comprehend all at once
[14:13]	nobody	yet what i find fascinating is, a planned maintenance had taken down entire GSM-R (according to news), and in entire germany all trains had to halt for several hours
[14:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	a lot of modern carriages apparently cnanot operate when it is very hot or very cold
[14:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	i don't know the reason
[14:14]	schestowitz[TR2]	many "modern" buildings rot faster
[14:14]	schestowitz[TR2]	and cannot be repeaired
[14:14]	schestowitz[TR2]	*repaired
[14:14]	nobody	thing is, i find the 5G advertizing from politicians a little, confusing
[14:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	they are not advertisers
[14:15]	nobody	too UK objected to 5G while ago, it could not have been certified initially (with blame shifting towards huawei)
[14:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	they are klaywers/liars
[14:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	they say what they are told
[14:15]	nobody	but in germany, we've rolled out 5G, for many years, and all of the sudden BSI (ministry of the interior, similar to GCHQ in UK) insists since January 2026 things must be inspected and certified
[14:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	https://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2024/09/02/northern-rail-and-transpennine-express/

[14:17]	nobody	that's another thing, in year 2022 german railway already suffered fomr such an outage
[14:17]	nobody	and politicians said it was supposedly some russian saboteurs stealing copper cabling

[14:17]	nobody	time lapse, 2026, and again GSM-R and railway suffer from a total blackout
[14:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	please
[14:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	we cannot say blackoiut
[14:18]	nobody	and they're blaming 2G as "outdated" "unreliable" now, which was the system that operated reliably
[14:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	it is a racist term!
[14:18]	nobody	but since when railway began "modernizing"... you get the idea
[14:19]	nobody	there is no evidence yet for exaclty which gear they swapped during their scheduled maintenance
[14:19]	nobody	and if 5G FRMCS was related to it, and if that got certified before
[14:19]	schestowitz[TR2]	<admfubar> https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=26/06/23/0949209

[14:19]	TR Bot	 Russian Satellites Cosmos 2546 Have Been Jamming GPS Signals Across Europe - SoylentNews
[14:19]	nobody	because, officially, 5G is not certified for railway yet, and FRMCS isn't fully standardized either
[14:20]	nobody	and it's getting even better, because Telekom and many other mobile network operators will terminate their 2G operation
[14:20]	nobody	which then leaves headroom to doubt, if many 2G equipment vendors remained
[14:21]	nobody	the ones that Railway contracted 30 years ago, vanished already (Nortel)
[14:21]	nobody	it's the same problem with X.25, Telekom terminated all operation and support for this
[14:21]	nobody	although railway still operates some X.25 (according to wikipedia), and migrated this onto some "ALL-IP"
[14:22]	nobody	and the next interesting aspect seems to be, the "total nuclear shutdown" in germany
[14:22]	nobody	which coincides with timeline of all this
[14:23]	nobody	because, railway MUST coordinate their power demands with energy facilities (power plants)
[14:23]	nobody	for example, after GSM-R went back online recently, they couldn't re-dispatch trains all ot once
[14:23]	nobody	otherwise the grid would overload or power plants de-synchronize when running out of spec
[14:24]	nobody	which is, what happened in Spain while ago, when they've had some issues with their solar panes sending sparks and flares into the electricity grid
[14:25]	nobody	i have not found a conclusive report if the telco-grid suffered in spain
[14:25]	nobody	but finally, there nuclear plants had to fully shut down, and all trains halted there too for several hours
[14:26]	nobody	thing is, for telco inside critical infrastructure, gear must be certified and reliable
[14:26]	nobody	if it isn't, with a malfunction following, it's taking down entire railway, nuclear plants, etc.
[14:26]	nobody	you get the idea
[14:28]	nobody	with railway recently, it's been a planned maintenance even
[14:29]	nobody	few hours later politicians advertize for 5G again, and demands for "special budget" bonus, as a reward for what they've accomplished
[14:29]	nobody	interestingly, railway already increased their budgets double-triple-fold in recent years (didn't check the data for a while)
[14:31]	nobody	for 5G/FRMCS railway may have to install twice as many radio towers in comparison to GSM-R
[14:32]	nobody	anyway, the investigation report railway management has to provide, they'll hand this out to some government office only i guess

[14:35]	Goblin	just been updating my Railway stamp collection with my latest finds.
[14:36]	Goblin	:)
[14:36]	nobody	but most important, a scheduled maintenance must not take down enitre GSM-R and railway grid for several hours, in entire germany
[14:36]	nobody	and guess what would have happened, if nuclear plants had to do an emergency shutdown
[14:37]	nobody	since, just speculation and theory, one or another energy facility might have been connected to GSM-R/railway/X.25
[14:38]	nobody	it's too highly political, because german chancellor olaf dictated the final nuclear shutdown spring 2023, shortly after railway did a blackout here
[14:38]	nobody	and, just as said, it did again 4 years later
[14:39]	nobody	schestowitz[TR2]: even more interesting, public news and tv, or totally incompetent and ignorant

[15:20]	nobody	i've got some really good memories, which information campaign ministry of the interior did year 2022
[15:21]	nobody	jumping in front of camera at that time, before an investigation could have been done, shouting already it was russians at fault

[15:25]	nobody	this alone is reason enough, they've already thrown all money at it they could
[15:25]	nobody	and well, some railway subsidiary denied my job placement inquiry, year 2022, just for the record
[15:26]	nobody	i was asking about X.25 at that time, if this was relevant in any way, and i would be interested to study this
