Description
As public Wi-Fi availability increases, passengers expect to remain connected to their work or social networks, regardless of their location.
The opportunity to increase productivity while travelling is making public transport usage more attractive, and it has reached the point where Wi-Fi is now considered an essential offering for transport operators.
The solution proposal is to introduce on train Wi-Fi in a 60-day proof-of-concept trial.
