Arqiva has announced a contract with Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT),
Scotland's biggest regional transport partnership. The contract will see Arqiva's Wireless Solutions division design and deploy a combined cellular and WiFi network across 15 Glasgow Subway stations. Deployment of the network will begin later this month, with initial testing at Buchanan Street Subway station. The new network will enable customers to use the Internet and mobile phones when at these stations, and provide public access to WiFi services. SPT is the owner and operator of
Glasgow's unique Subway system. The organisation is undertaking a programme of subway modernisation and efficiencies. It also sees great potential in WiFi technology to migrate some of its existing applications and services onto the network such as ticketing and CCTV.
