Canadian operator TELUS has announced Wi-Xi squad that will visit various popular public places throughout the summer to give Montrealers free access to operator’s 4G LTE network.
The BIXI bike, decked out in TELUS colours, is transformed into a Wi-Fi access point via TELUS Wi-Xi, a 4G LTE modem which is linked to a battery that is recharged by pedal power. A TELUS Wi-Xi allows up to 10 users per bike to connect to TELUS’s LTE network. The TELUS Wi-Xi squad will wind through the streets of Montreal and visit the various popular places in the city in order to reach as many Montrealers as possible.
“We are proud to be associated with BIXI. This is our way of contributing to its success while, at the same time, ensuring that all Montrealers can benefit from our expertise and our cutting edge technologies,” said François Gratton, Senior Vice-President, Business Market, Eastern Canada, and Consumer Mobility, Quebec at TELUS.
