The Transit Wireless ubiquitous fiber network will be expanded to include several river crossings, and leverage the power of 5G small cells and IoT to deliver advanced fiber solutions and route diversity for millions of homes and businesses.

The main benefits of this expansion include:

• Mobile connectivity throughout the NYCT subway tunnels.
• Upgraded high-capacity carrier-grade fiber network will more than double in size along the subway system.
• Enhancement of five base station hotels will support 5G and future needs of network operators.
• Attachment rights for small cell infrastructure allows mobile operators to expand capacity.
