Recently, during an interview with the first shanghai corporate social responsibility summit series in china (shanghai), the chairman and managing director of the shanghai mass transport corporation (shanghai group) announced that, as of may this year, 9,000 taxis under the public flag would be fully covered by free wifi. It was revealed that the technology was supported by an emerging information technology service provider in shanghai, shanghai clouds union computer systems ltd. (shanghai clouds union)。
In july last year, it was known that 2,000 shanghai popular taxis with the wi-fi logo were officially on the road, while the shanghai clouds union, as a national service provider, was the first official, large-scale, commercial and independent company to operate on road traffic. The company also owns a "freewi-fi" app to provide wireless wi-fi services, which identifies the shanghai public taxi wi-fi signal "changewifi" and fully supports one-key connectivity。
The wireless network is currently available in two ways in public taxis。
The first was the sms verification of a mobile phone, which took 15 seconds to verify the entire process and to resolve the embarrassment of the short-distance ride to its destination that had not yet been connected to wi-fi. And the user only needs to verify it once, which is automatically connected on the second ride. The other is easy to connect through the "freewire" of the app client of shanghai clouds, where passengers enter the mass vehicle and can automatically identify the wi-fi signal in the vehicle by clicking on the app. It is known that this app is a mobile phone application developed by the upc team to help users quickly locate and access public wi-fi hot spots. The entire network signals received and transmitted by app were procured by mobile chinese and chinese telecommunications operators, thus avoiding user concerns about wi-fi security。
At present, the andre client of this paragraph app has been updated to version 3. 0 and, when using the software, users do not need to verify the account code, either to access the public network free of charge in hot spots or to save traffic and facilitate speed. And whether your phone is for any operator service, you can access the network. Access is free and free of traffic restrictions and is favoured mainly by students and white collars. Wireless has been reported to have supported more than 7 million public wifi signal hotspots in several provinces and municipalities throughout the country, with more than 20 million users。
