Boldyn’s agreement with AT&T, the first wireless operator to go public about its presence on the neutral host’s network, underscores the need for MTA to extend wireless coverage in the system’s tunnels.
As a neutral wireless network system, it will enable all the largest wireless operators to leverage it to enhance coverage.
“Throughout the network, anything we go into in New York City is fully built for all licensed carriers, in below-ground stations,” said Ken Ranger, SVP of transit operations, Boldyn. “Happily, for us, AT&T is the first to announce, and they have gone on all the G line, the Joralemon Street tunnel, and the 4/5 lines, but it’s built for all of the wireless carriers.”
