Wireless voice and data service will be coming to as many as 242 underground New York City subway stations, said AT&T and Transit Wireless in a news release Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1n4Txhn). AT&T service is currently available in 30 stations in midtown Manhattan from Phase 1 of the project, plus six from the initial build in Chelsea. AT&T is installing equipment in Transit Wireless’s secure base station hotel facilities to bring 3G and 4G LTE service to Phase 2, which comprises 40 stations -- 11 in midtown Manhattan. The entire Phase 2 buildout is expected to be completed by summer, said AT&T and Transit Wireless.
