About 480,000 passengers pass through La Defense station every day on the subway, taxis, buses, trams, and the suburban commuter train, making it one of the 10 largest hubs in Europe. Now the Paris transportation authority has deployed a context-aware Wi-Fi network for their employees and travellers.

“As workers move about the station, the system recognizes them and transmits appropriate information. Timetables, traffic knots, service disruptions, itinerary planning, and even directions for the area can be accessed on PDAs.”
