Queanbeyan-based bus and coach operator Deane's Transit Group launched its free wi-fi service at an exclusive briefing session for local politicians and media in Canberra this afternoon.
The introduction of its free wi-fi service, unofficially called DeanesNet, makes the Deane's Transit Group the first operator in southern NSW and Canberra to provide free wi-fi on board its regular route buses.
"Canberra joins the ranks of the capital cities of Europe and the US today with its public transport system now providing their commuters with connectivity to the world while onboard", said Jeremy Wee, General Manager of the Deane's Transit Group. He added, "We're very proud to achieve another 'first', especially one in our part of the State and the ACT through introducing wi-fi. Canberra's public transport needs to move forward - and here is one way of doing it. We recognised this by looking abroad and listening to what our customers wanted."
With facilities onboard a Queanbeyan and a Yass commuter bus at the moment, Mr. Wee announced that the Group's roll-out plan would see wi-fi facilities primarily installed on its Deane's Buslines and Transborder Express commuter fleets first, followed by trials on its coach and school bus fleets. The company is keen to evaluate usage rates which are a key indicator in its wi-fi trial for the region.
Utilising equipment supplied by Frontline Systems Canberra and connectivity through Telstra's 3G network, onboard trials along the Yass-Canberra-Queanbeyan corridor have seen web-surfers experience uninterrupted browsing and decent download speeds for a mobile hotspot. Users have to log into the Deane's wi-fi network and are able to stay connected for 30 minutes and/or download 30mb of data per session.
"We all know about the benefits and opportunities the Internet provides to users. It's educational, it's a productivity tool and it's a powerful method of getting your message out there," Mr Wee said, "and while we can't fix Canberra's peak hour traffic at the moment, we can keep our commuters occupied with our free wi-fi facility!"
In keeping with the afternoon's theme of technology and connectivity, Mr. Wee also highlighted the Group's growing partnership with Telstra and announced a promotion where Deane's and Transborder passengers had the chance to win one smartphone a week during summer.
