How Shared Mobile Broadband Communications Can Improve the Transit Customer Experience

Learn how a single platform can provide mobile broadband connectivity that is easier and more cost-effective to manage, while offering the flexibility to support new features as needed.

Benefits

Transit authorities and light railway operators are using the Internet of Things (IoT) to deploy applications that connect vehicles with transit operations, improve the onboard commuting experience, and evolve to an multi-modal transport model. By connecting public transit fleets with wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) solutions, operators can:
Transit icon

Efficient transportation

Provide more efficient transportation services through real-time fare payment, improved schedule management, and optimized fuel consumption

Recommendation icon

Better ride experience

Offer commuters a better ride experience with mobile WiFi to access the Internet, the latest travel information, and online ticketing services

Community icon

Increase loyalty

Increase customer loyalty by leveraging usage data – such as ticketing, travel information, web browsing – to create new services or offers

Cost icon

Generate revenue

Generate additional revenues through digital advertising in stations, coaches and vehicles

Fortunately, public cellular networks are ideal in such scenarios. When transit authorities connect applications to cellular networks via the latest LTE technologies, they can support multiple commercial and professional services as well as provide customers with WiFi bandwidth speeds comparable to what they have at home.
