Bell Canada to Provide Wi-Fi on Trains

Bell Canada is extending its AccessZone Wi-Fi hotspot pilot service to select VIA Rail train cars. The pilot program will provide free Wi-Fi for VIA 1 passengers traveling between Montreal and Toronto. The mobile WLAN connectivity is supported by combined satellite and wireless coverage from Bell Mobility's 1X network to the train. The network will provide connections that are similar to or better than dial-up connection speeds. Bell Canada is also providing hotspots in Dorval Train Station, Toronto's Union Station and Montreal's Central Station.
