Wireless@sl - Creating Value For Passengers, Staff And Systems Through An Integrated Wireless Soluti
In June 2008, Greater Stockholm Public Transport Authority (SL) as the authority responsible
for public transport in greater Stockholm, organized a Pilot trial of a communications platform
that enabled real-time wireless broadband services to and from a couple of highway commuter
buses. The solution offered location specific digital services to both passengers and the transport
operators alike. The wireless capacity that was surplus to SLs operational requirements was
made available to passengers through commercial operator collaboration. The uniqueness in the
trial was first a very broad approach, to the demand of services offered in four different service
packages, and secondly the establishing of seamless switching between WiMAX, UMTS and
CDMA.
