Cricket Communications Inc. has signed a 10-year agreement to lease the CTA's wireless communications infrastructure in the Red Line and Blue Line subways, CTA officials will announce Monday. The transit agency will be paid $22,250 per month by Cricket, officials said.
Cricket joins Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular in offering wireless service in the 11.4-mile subway system. The CTA expects to add more service providers to the system, allowing more customers to use their wireless devices underground, officials said.
The CTA installed technology in 2005 to improve the transit agency's two-way radio system and subway communications options for the CTA, the Chicago Police Department and the Chicago Fire Department.
