Mobilitie Continues Network Expansion for Seattle Sound Transit

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobilitie, the largest privately-held wireless infrastructure firm in the nation, is expanding its network for Sound Transit's Link light rail system, the choice of 24 million-plus riders annually in the Puget Sound area. While underground, Sound Transit passengers have been working, watching videos and playing games without interruption thanks to Mobilitie's dedicated network. Now, with the continued collaboration with Sound Transit, Mobilitie will again be extending the connectivity as the transit system executes its Northgate Link Extension, which is scheduled to open in 2021.

Mobilitie completed the first phase of its network deployment in the fall of 2017 when it initiated service in Link light rail tunnels from downtown Seattle to the Capitol Hill and University of Washington stations. The following year, Mobilitie added service from the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel (DSTT) at Westlake to the University Street, Pioneer Square and International District stations, followed by the Beacon Hill tunnels and station in 2018. 

"The collaborative partnership we have with Sound Transit has resulted in a dramatically improved, rich and reliable voice and data wireless network for commuters," saidMobilitie Regional Vice President Lisa Hamedian. "Even underground, riders maintain uninterrupted service so they can work, play and communicate throughout their commute."

The next phase is underway now and will address the northbound expansion from University of Washington to Northgate. To learn more about Mobilitie and its wireless solutions, visit mobilitie.com or contact us at [email protected].
