Starting December 2, all 12 Moscow Metro lines, with the total length of more than 325 kilometres, are equipped with free Wi-Fi and “the number of underground train cars with access points will exceed 5,000.” Thus, the project for equipping the Moscow Metro with the Wi-Fi network is completed one month ahead of schedule.
“In some cities of the world there is Wi-Fi Internet access at underground railway lines, but no access in the tunnels,” the Metro report says. In Moscow this service is provided to passengers only in train cars, and no connection is provided at stations and entrance areas. The data transfer rate exceeds 100 Mb/s per train.
The project for equipping Moscow Metro trains with the wireless network was launched on September 2013. The Kakhovskaya and Circle Lines were the first to be equipped with free wireless Internet connection.
