The existing GSM-R requirements are supplemented by special services,
such as ASCI (Advanced Speech Call Items):
- eMLPP (enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Preemption) repression and prioritization of calls
- VBS (Voice Broadcast Services) in order to deliver voice information to a group of subscribers simultaneously
- VGCS (Voice Group Call Service) groups of subscribers can talk among each other and to each other
As well as railway-specific services:
- FA (Functional Addressing) and Presentation of Functional Numbers in order to reach the train driver under the train number and to display it
- AM (Access Matrix) to organize access to groups or subscribers, e.g. subscribers of group A must not call subscribers of group B.
- LDA (Location Dependent Addressing) facilitates controlling the caller depending on his location or region.
