Public WiFi, not easy to say love you WiFi-bus, bus-IT news
Public WiFi, not easy to say love to you

"Free 16WiFi", "signal, it covers", these words are, now have Internet addiction disorder and traffic hungry mobile users eyes, was "sleepy someone hands the pillow." But this free pillow, as if to give the feeling of enjoying for a moment, experienced people feel must throw up a slot.

I still haven't even gone

Beijing, who was asked by reporters, hardly a successfully connected to the WiFi on the bus. A fund company's Nie Xiaojie said: "I am from home by bus, bus 604, 392, 387, tried everything, not even once did. Nice have WiFi of course, unfortunately, is the device. ”

Journalists have previously been tried and has not successfully connected, given that may is a comparatively short time, haven't had time to set up the car. Thus, 490 specifically tried it a few days ago, is at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the ride is seldom without network congestion. It is regrettable that, starting from the find 16WiFi connected, all the way to get off, during which a dozen minutes, although there are signs, but nothing really unavailable.

By 21, 331 road every day to go to school the week of three sails middle school classmate, told reporters: "don't try, I tried many times, not at all. ”

Open procedures are too cumbersome

"Passengers open the WiFi on the phone searching for wireless signals can be found named" 16WiFi "wireless network signal, click on the link will jump to the e-road WiFi directional site, downloaded via the e-road WiFi client, complete the registration process, which can log on to the Internet. ”

Public WiFi use a description of the process, a total of 5 steps. If connected, in rickety, overcrowded buses, one-hand finish downloading the client, registration procedures, and is almost an impossible task.

Moreover, reporters found that Internet instructions text very small router box hangs quite high, cannot see. Opened for the first time that threshold, it will discourage a lot of people.

It is understood that free WiFi client supports only Android and iOS, WP is not supported and Windows8 and other operating systems.

If you happen to have a seat, and sits underneath the router, and eyes are good enough, and get flustered, and you this car just hooked up (requires too many coincidences), then when you turn on the external network and when you can't, you'll swear no longer have.

Internet access restricted no security

"Yes, once, can not directly enter the URL in the browser, only their own set of content. "Said one Netizen anonymously complaining.

According to reports, the Beijing public transport free of charge WiFi Internet connection up to 50 MB, and can accommodate 40 people online. "Can only see their own custom stuff, what is the significance of January 100000000M! "Another user do not agree.

Browse content has been bummer if qualified, then for safety concerns, it is not a small problem.

A cell phone user in Hunan province said: "public WiFi on the BUS, sold personal information center. "Despite fierce words, but information on how to apply, and indeed fears among many users, after all, the service provider is not a State-owned enterprise, but a little-known company, in case of leaking user information?

The user experience is not ideal

Bus WiFi devices is an important cause of the user's experience is not ideal. In addition to the aforementioned undesirable addition to many users, after logging on, signal interruptions, awkward to use.

Bus ride quality than subway, and rush is too crowded and is also an important factor to affect the user experience. A Netizen said: "at the Zhejiang TV news reports and 290 bus every 2 minutes to departure still packed full, so under such public transport environment, everyone was packed like big picture, but also have the ability to see a small mobile phone? ”

Mr surnamed Lu said: "the bus stop 500 metres away from an average, normal, then a couple of minutes, you arrive to send out? Or what? Moreover, Hoang Hoang, staring at the screen? ”

Technology is not yet mature

"The deployment of multiple users in a small space, rely on CSMACD to service technology, how good can it be experienced? "One technician said," the technology is not mature. For the users, if you do not see video brushes app on a Web page, only one thing, WCDMA, and CDMAEvdo, or EDGE is not enough then? ”

First bus at the Hangzhou China Mobile WiFi, attitude is not positive about that now. Because with the rapid laying of 4G network, WiFi using public transportation has no meaning. Facing technical problems too difficult to solve. One person is responsible for network support department said: "the bus WiFi technical defect that exists in gradual exposure, non-carrier-grade quality of equipment and the lack of major operational capabilities, and more difficult to solve problems. "He said," for example, has a signal but cannot access, exactly what the problem is and how to solve it, all parties need to be involved in putting a large number of technical staff to test, validate and resolve. But this, do you? ”

User not in high demand

Public WiFi, why? Many users replied--useless. A Netizen said: "my monthly traffic is used up, companies and homes have WiFi, the road is half an hour, I'm happy to have a rest. News said bus WiFi to the next software sign up login or something, could not secure. Unless there is a public WiFi friends. ”

Preceding the operator said: "prior to charging mode, the complex ordering and payment process allows users to flinch; and then to pay the proceeds, would struggle to support maintaining huge operating costs. Ultimate reality is: the nets were unable to get on, not in front of users, neither to place your ad, let alone talk about the legendary big data analytics. ”

Hangzhou bus moved TD-LTE WiFi used to be the benchmarking pilot project, but as specific events that occur in a specific historical period, it was not copied. Analysts believe, has just opened a TD-LTE-based 4G network, covering nothing and not 4G Terminal. To allow users to easily experience the 4G, opened a public WiFi in Hangzhou, such high-speed experience, the user doesn't have to change terminals. Group build a simulated 4G environment, after all, has a good user experience, of course, earned a reputation for mobile 4G propaganda, also won 4G network construction time.

But the passage of time, now moves don't want this anymore, 4G network gradually improved, tariff and not too expensive, and Web experience, with smooth user demand has also explicitly lock 4 g.

And because without a decent user experience, public WiFi's reputation has been getting worse.
