Telecomms infrastructure company Mobilitie in Newport Beach and San Francisco transit agency SFMTA, have promised high-speed wireless connectivity for the Central Subway system in time for its grand opening next month.
Passengers of the Central Subway will have unlimited access to ultra-fast and ubiquitous mobile coverage across tunnels, stations, and rail cars, as well as surrounding communities.
The Central Subway Project will improve public transportation in San Francisco by extending the Muni Metro T Third Line through SoMa, Union Square and Chinatown.
“With a high-count fiber network consisting of more than 7,000 fiber strands, our next-generation network loops through San Francisco and the Bay Area, delivering the backbone required to improve 5G wireless connectivity, data center access, and enable connected buildings with indoor 5G coverage,” Christos Karmis, CEO of Mobilitie, said in a statement yesterday.
