High-speed mobile and data coverage extended to additional Prague metro stations

Passengers on Prague's metro system can now use mobile and data services in LTE quality in over half of the city's stations and adjacent tunnels.

As of last week, coverage was extended to Chodov and Háje metro stations making the total count of underground stations covered by LTE signal 33 out of 61 total stations, Prague's transit authority (DPP) said in a press release.

Currently, DPP and a consortium of operators (O2 Czech Republic, T-Mobile Czech Republic, Vodafone Czech Republic) and CETIN are working to expand the LTE network in other parts of the Prague metro as well.

The LTE signal will be extended to Opatov by the end of November; the city is currently finishing construction work on this metro station which includes modernization and barrier-free access.

With the addition of LTE signal coverage to Opatov, the high-speed network will be available to passengers throughout line C from Nádraží Holešovice to the final station in Háje. 

The Národní třída and Náměstí Republiky stations should receive coverage in November, making the LTE signal available across the entire section of route B from Smíchovské nádraží to Českomoravská.

In December, passengers LTE network will also service the Náměstí Míru, Nové Butovice, and Hůrka stations. By the end of this year, the LTE signal should cover the metro in the wider center of Prague. Early next year, the high-speed LTE network will be expanded to Flora, Radlická, and Jinonice.
