#2745 - Free Public WiFi Deployment in Managed Stations

Tender description

Over 850 million footfall, pass through 17 nationwide Network Rail managed stations every year. And as more people choose to travel by rail, we anticipate that over 1 billion journeys will be made by 2020. This strong growth is fuelling an equally exceptional opportunity: to create inspiring places where passengers, consumers and local communities can enjoy unique experiences. The rise of connected technology has given rail travel a new dimension. People use their mobile devices to browse, make future travel plans and a hundred and one other things while they’re on the move. And just as train journeys are no longer dead time, train stations are no longer waiting rooms either. Our passengers have cited free Wi-Fi as their number one priority for our stations. Network Rail wishes to meet and exceed their needs by delivering a great station experience that allows our customers the ability to connect on the go, whilst offering them train information, exciting and engaging free content, exclusive in-station retail promotions, all delivered over a high performance infrastructure that continues to grow and develop into the future. Our vision is: To enhance our passenger and visitors time in our stations through the provision of a world- class, free, public service that exceeds their requirements for seamless, digital connectivity across the rail network, now and 15 years into the future.
