News The new WiFi tramways, with Orange
Free WiFi is the result of a collaboration between De Lijn, its subsidiary LijnCom and Hello bank!. Today, you can browse the web in 15 trams in Ghent, but at the end of November, De Lijn will launch a large-scale pilot experiment on 90 trams: 45 in Antwerp and 45 in Ghent.
WiFi? Just thank the Orange network!
To offer WiFi on board, the transportation company chose Orange's 3G/4G network. If you have a 4G-compatible device, you will discover right away how fast Orange's 4G actually is.
Extension scheduled
You don't go very often in Antwerp or Ghent? After the test period, De Lijn will equip other vehicles with WiFi. Currently, registered tram users receive 250 MB of free data per month, but the transportation company is currently studying the possibility of offering even more to its registered users.
