Chicago Transit Authority jumps aboard the Wi-Fi train! Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) announced last week that they have successfully deployed a solar-powered Tropos wireless mesh network in its rail yards. CTA employees will use the shiny new wireless mesh for mobile maintenance record keeping. The CTA expects the MetroMesh solution to drastically increase worker productivity and decrease their effect on the environment by using paperless records transmitted over the high-speed network. Before the wireless mesh was available, CTA employees routinely inspected each rail car at more than 10 of their rail yards, the largest of which holds over 280 railcars. Now, inspectors are able to do this automatically through the use of hand-held computers working with the wireless mesh like a huge hotspot. Inspectors can scan railcar identification barcodes for more accurate records. Congrats, Chicago Transit Authority!
