Boingo and its partner, Concourse Communications, are working with Metra on a pilot program to install WiFi on the South Shore Line of Chicago’s Metra train line.
Concourse has installed equipment along a seven-mile stretch of the South Shore Line and has been testing the installation. If successful, technicians will proceed with plans to install the network along the entire 100-mile stretch of track that runs from Chicago to South Bend.
There is optimism that Wi-Fi will eventually be added to all the other Metra lines.
