The massive penetration of various gadgets into our lives is forcing Internet operators to reconsider the service market - in particular, to provide Wi-Fi services on various vehicles: on the railway, in airplanes, as well as in the metro and ground transport.
Until recently, one could only dream of free Internet access in public transport, and only the passengers of the Moscow metro could use the Wi-Fi service. Today, in 16 Moscow trolleybuses, 6 buses and 3 trams, as well as in the transport of many large cities, you can find stickers such as "Catch and ride", "The trolleybus is equipped with Wi-Fi" and the like. While access tests are in test mode, but soon it should become commonplace.
Routers are installed in trolleybuses, buses and trams - they receive and transmit a CDMA-450 network signal, and then distribute it to various subscriber devices in the form of Wi-Fi. At the same time, a data transfer rate of up to 3 megabits per second is available. True, the speed depends on the load on the router, that is, on the number of passengers connected to the network.
You can get access to the Internet in transport from various subscriber devices that support Wi-Fi - laptops, phones, tablets, smartphones. In fact, the speed provided is slightly less than the declared one, but it is quite enough for browsing Facebook and Instagram, as well as for prompt information search in search engines. So, "Yandex" for the entered request gives the result in just a few seconds.
How to use Wi-Fi in public transport?
1. This can be done where there is a special sticker about the Wi-Fi service. Usually it is located at the entrance to the salon above the turnstile or directly on the side window of a bus, tram or trolleybus. 2. To connect to the Internet in the list of available networks, select Rostelecom_Wi-Fi, connect it on the device and go to any search engine.
Transport workers will also benefit from this innovation, because a trolleybus or bus with Wi-Fi service, according to their assumptions, will be in great demand, which means that this transport will become more competitive.
