Reliable connectivity provides new and advanced
services powering the experience for riders across the state of New
Jersey and parts of New York and Pennsylvania
Comcast Business today announced it is providing NJ TRANSIT with
high-performance Ethernet and Internet solutions to support its
public transportation system and power the advanced technological
services it provides to riders across New Jersey and in parts of
New York and Pennsylvania.
“Comcast Business provides our customers with reliable
connectivity and the technology backbone needed to power
innovations,” said Michael Louden, Regional Vice President of
Comcast’s Freedom Region. “As NJ TRANSIT continues to enhance its
operations through advanced technology solutions, we will be there
to partner and make its plans a reality for riders across the state
and region.”
NJ TRANSIT is the largest statewide public transit system and
third-largest provider of bus, rail, and light rail transit by
ridership in the United States, providing nearly 240 million
passenger trips each year, with roughly one million riders per day.
Under the strategic direction of its technology team, NJ TRANSIT
foresaw the necessity of bolstering its network infrastructure.
This led NJ TRANSIT to partner with Comcast Business, a decision
rooted in the company’s proactive commitment to ensuring high
service reliability and innovation for riders. Today, Comcast
Business has expanded its support, helping the transit authority
execute its forward-looking vision.
“As Chief Technology Officer at NJ TRANSIT, I have always
prioritized innovative solutions to enhance operational efficiency
and customer experiences,” said Bilal Khan, Chief Technology
Officer of Infrastructure for NJ TRANSIT. “Providing
high-performance Ethernet and Internet solutions is a testament to
our commitment to leveraging advanced technology. This project
helps bolsters our network and aligns perfectly with our
forward-looking vision to revolutionize public transit."
The transit provider identified a need for improved connectivity
and redundancy, as a single point of failure could impact its
operations. It also required a network system that could power
quality communication and improve the experience for riders.
Significant bandwidth is critical to support various communication
methods, including network-dependent audio communication systems
used to communicate between operators, other vital staff and
customers, along with public WiFi, digital displays and signage
communicating departure times, and more.
“Looking ahead, we are excited about the future of public
transit. This project is just the beginning. We are committed to
exploring new technological frontiers to continually elevate NJ
TRANSIT’S commuting experience and operational excellence,”
continued Khan.
