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. Thus, regardless of their mobile network, passengers can access free and unlimited internet throughout the journey in 33 IC carriages. CFR Intercity wifi

“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
