Romania’s state-owned railway operator, CFR Călători has partnered with Orange Business Services for a pilot project making free Wi-Fi available on its Intercity (IC) trains.

“To keep all CFR Călători passengers safe online, the Business Wi-Fi Mobile solution provided by Orange Business Services also includes the security option, which ensures blocking of dangerous, malware-type traffic and applications that generate heavy data traffic and may affect the experience of other travelers,” CFR Călători said.

At the same time, Business Wi-Fi Mobile also comes with options for CFR Călători teams, who can view the trains on the route in real-time and have access to statistics on the degree of Wi-Fi service usage.

Thus, CFR Călători equipped 33 carriages serving Intercity trains with mobile Wi-Fi services. Regardless of the mobile phone network used, passengers have free and unlimited internet access throughout the journey.

How can the free Wi-Fi be accessed on board the CFR Călători train? CFR Intercity wifi
