FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Buses become Wi-Fi hotspotsGovernment workers putting these projects togetherToday's Date -- 5/13/202 In Sacramento, chief innovation officer Louis Stewart took advantage of Sacramento Regional Transit District buses idled by a lack of riders to create large, mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, dubbing it the Wi-Fi Bus program. Users can simply connect to the provided Wi-Fi network to get internet access via the Sacramento Public Library’s portal. Buses were particularly well-suited to the task, as their size makes it easy for them to carry multiple access points while being taller than many trees and other obstructions that could interfere with Wi-Fi signals, he added. The private sector is a key part of Sacramento’s effort, with Cradlepoint, Aruba, and Sierra wireless all contributing Wi-Fi access points and routers, and major mobile carriers like AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile offering wireless backhaul. It helped that, as the capital of California, Sacramento already had government affairs representatives from many companies locally situated. “Honestly, once we got the first provider on board, it came down to the companies’ competitive nature to try and jump in and help to be part of this proof of concept,” said Stewart. “It ended up being fairly simple to do, we did in five weeks what would’ve ordinarily taken six months.”
