WiFi Rail to Bring Internet to BART with a 20-Year Agreement
Do you like this story?
We have heard about this WiFi offer at San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit trains and just now an official announcement has been made. WiFi Rail will install the first US high speed mobile WiFi network on BART with a 20-year agreement.
As everything has been successfully tested, we will be able to access to 15Mbps WiFi on 81 miles-per-hour train. Four downtown San Francisco stations and some segments of the tunnels are already fully functional but the whole network will be complete by 2010.
The WiFi Rail network utilizes standards-based technologies which include a collapsed fiber-optic backbone, Cisco wireless Access Points, Routers, and Switches, and Apple OS-X servers. The WiFi Rail business model is based on network subscriptions - daily, monthly, and annually -as well as technology license arrangements.
