The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) in Salt Lake City has implemented new wireless communications software from In Motion Technology on all 530 buses in its fleet. The technology provides wireless communications capabilities that will allow in-vehicle credit card payments, Internet access, and other advanced services for passengers.

UTA bus passengers will be able to use the wired and wireless local area network created by In Motion’s onBoard Mobile Gateway, providing reliable connectivity to multiple devices and systems over a variety of networks. The technology also includes a Mobility Manager that allows UTA’s headquarters staff to track networks, devices, and vehicles from the field, as well as information and control over its wireless communications.

The technology also provides real-time communication enabling authorization of credit cards, ski passes, and other electronic fare media used by UTA passengers as they board, as well as wide-area and garage area communications. Riders will be able to access e-mail and the Internet from their laptops, personal digital assistants, or smart phones through the WiFi hot spot created by the onBoard Mobile Gateway.
