AT&T and Boldyn Networks have announced that they are bringing coverage expansion for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). Through this partnership, millions of passengers will be getting improved wireless connectivity across tunnels, stations, rail cars, and surrounding areas.

“At AT&T, we’re steadfast in our commitment to forging unparalleled connections for our customers, irrespective of their location,” says Marc Blakeman, president – AT&T California. “We’re thrilled to embark on this transformative collaboration with Boldyn Networks to deliver exceptional mobile experiences throughout SFMTA’s systems and communities across the Bay Area.”

“We’re excited to partner with AT&T to provide seamless and robust 5G coverage across the SFMTA network and bring improved wireless services to the city at-large”, says Christos Karmis, CEO of Boldyn Networks’ US business. “Our next-generation SFMTA distributed antenna system (DAS) network is an extension of our high-density fibre footprint in the region which delivers 5G wireless connectivity, data centre access, and enables connected buildings to better serve residents and businesses across the San Francisco and Bay Area.”

This initiative from SFMTA supports BART’s (Bay Area Rapid Transit) initiatives in delivering 5G connectivity to riders and surrounding communities, including its new digital railway project. For more information about SFMTA’s Central Subway Project, visit SFMTA.
