WiFi on Front Runner Commuter Rail

North Ogden and Pleasant View residents who commute to and from work in Utah are finding it easy to get work done during the commute because of emerging and improved wireless connections on the state’s commuter buses and trains. The FrontRunner Commuter Rail that runs between Ogden and Salt Lake City now has fiber optic cables running under the tracks which let users connect to the Internet at speeds of approximately 5 Mbps. The commuter buses in the same area also offer Wi-Fi connections although you have to use a broadband card to connect and speeds aren’t quite so fast. There are additional plans in the works in the area including a broadband system similar to that of the FrontRunner system which is set to be complete in the Utah Valley by 2012. This new service will help those Utah Home owners wanting to live 45 minutes out from SLC to have internet access while on the way to work.
