Wifi Bus
WiFi is sometimes called Internet on the go, it can be accessed on any hotspot that has a WiFi access. In Singapore, mobile brand leader Nokia, installed a WiFi service in 12 buses so that commuters can browse the net for free.
Nokia has brought Wi-Fi onto 12 buses in Singapore so that commuters can surf for free when riding them, using the existing cellular HSDPA service. The best thing is that users don’t need a HSDPA-enabled phone or modem as the equipment dishes out the access using regular Wi-Fi within the bus.
The unsecured network just requires you to agree to some terms of service and, after that, you’re good to go. Nokia says this is a trial for now and will review the service in a few months. It’s a first from the company, so you won’t find it outside of Singapore just yet.
