15/01/2008 - Glasgow underground is in the process of implementing mobile phone and wifi support

[Return to News Index]

Work will begin later this month to install a mobile and wi-fi network on Glasgow's subway system.

Operator Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) has signed a deal with Arqiva to provide a combined cellular and wi-fi network at all 15 stations.

For those with ES this may well prove an insurmountable obstacle, rendering underground journeys on the Glasgow subway impossible. According to the news story there are already plans to trial mobile phone support in the London underground at some point in 2008.
