Transit Wireless

Transit Wireless is an American telecommunication company founded in 2005, based in New York City. It specializes in building wireless communication infrastructure using distributed antenna system networks to provide Wi-Fi and cellular phone coverage in the places that are unreachable by traditional cellular phone services such as in the underground portions of the New York City Subway.[1][2] In 2010, the company was injected with financial support from infrastructure company BAI Communications for its first project with the New York City Transit Authority, which consisted of adding wireless access to subway stations.[3] The company is now a subsidiary of BAI Communications.[4]
