ABSTRACT:
A satellite distributed high-speed Internet “Hotspot” enables wireless and hardwired, satellite distributed Internet access aboard a transit vehicle such as a train for anyone with a PC or other web-ready device (wireless ready or cabled) and a valid credit card or prepaid coupon. Internet access is obtained via a ground-based satellite dish, which is operatively coupled to a wireless access point located along the transit route such as a railroad track. The wireless access point is in communication with a wireless transceiver unit located on the transit vehicle, and the Internet signal is distributed to users on the transit vehicle via a router using wired or wireless connections. A plurality of wireless access points can be located along the transit route, thereby allowing the transit vehicle to maintain the Internet connection while traveling along the transit route.
