The LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency, which operates Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliners, is rolling out improved wi-fi on its 351-mile route between San Luis Obispo, Calif., and San Diego.
“We know the importance of providing stable Wi-Fi for our passengers,” Donna DeMartino, LOSSAN Agency Managing Director, said in a press release. “Whatever the purpose of their travel, the ability to stay connected truly is invaluable.”
Technology firm Icomera, which is providing connectivity using its X-Series Mobile Gateway, says the upgrades through its advanced mobile router will allow 35% to 52% more devices to connect to the trains’ onboard network and deliver 34% to 48% more data per trip.
“Keeping LOSSAN’s passengers entertained, informed and productive throughout the journey is one of the easiest ways to improve the onboard experience,” said Icomera CEO Magnus Friberg. “Having Internet connectivity on the move is no longer seen as a luxury amenity for passengers, but a necessary service that operators must offer to remain competitive.”
