How Do You Bring 21st Century Communications Technology to a 100+ Year Old Transit System?
Show Notes
When the New York City subway opened in 1904 even H.G. Wells probably didn't envision the types of communications we take for granted today. Transit Wireless took on the challenge of making it possible to using cellphones in underground subway stations. Not only is cell service now available, but Wi-Fi and public safety radios also work in underground stations. Bill Bayne is the CEO of Transit Wireless and we spoke about what the company is doing and some of the challenges they faced in making it operational.
