Broadband Internet in railway stations and on board trains
SBB and Swisscom Mobile have agreed to collaborate on fast, wireless Internet access (PWLAN). The seven Railcity stations in Switzerland are to be equipped with “hotspots” in the course of this year. This will be followed by the phased introduction of hotspots at 25 additional SBB stations. Rail travellers will also be able to enjoy wireless Internet access on board trains.
