Wi-Fi has become a ubiquitous part of many peoples’ lives and looks to do more than supplement cellular. Because of costly data plans, many smartphone users look to Wi-Fi as a replacement rather than an alternative.
To support demand for Wi-Fi, Ericsson and cable giant Comcast created Wi-Fi on Wheels, a specially-outfitted Ford van designed to provide a 500-foot coverage radius capable of supporting an estimate 2,500 users. Wi-Fi on Wheels was introduced at this week’s INTX 2016 event at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
