Isn’t this title a bit misleading? It sounds like there is only service in one ‘tunnel’ on the Grand Central Shuttle. Everywhere else it’s just on the station platform.
- epc 9y agoThe original title is "Engineering against all odds, or how NYC’s subway will get wireless in the tunnels". There's wifi + LTE coverage in stations today. I don't know if it's part of this program or something else but there's LTE coverage from Verizon on the E from midtown down to about Penn Station.
- Ologn 9y agoNew York Transit Wireless has a free, open wifi that is open in many stations, which I use frequently. It is a little bit of a throwback using it on the subway though, as it does not work in the tunnel, so you have to wait to stop at a station, get the wifi signal back, send out your web page request and receive it, then the train goes into the tunnel again and your connection goes dead again. It is better than nothing though.
