Transit Wireless is a telecommunications firm headquartered in New York City, founded in 2005. Created as a partnership that included Dianet Communications, the company focuses on deploying wireless communication infrastructure through distributed antenna system (DAS) technology. This approach enables the provision of Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity in locations where conventional networks cannot reach, such as the underground portions of the New York City Subway. In 2010, BAI Communications, an infrastructure investment company, supported Transit Wireless’s inaugural project with the New York City Transit Authority, facilitating wireless access throughout subway stations. The architectural and engineering design was overseen by RF specialist Mark Parr. Today, the network extends to hundreds of stations and serves more than one billion riders annually. Transit Wireless functions as a subsidiary under BAI Communications.
