Project Description

The Amtrak Acela offers hourly service downtown to downtown during peak morning and afternoon rush hours between New York, Washington, DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and other intermediate cities, as well as many convenient round-trips between New York and Boston. To ensure their passengers remain connected while traveling, Amtrak Acela trains offer AmtrakConnect Wi-Fi – the Official Wi-Fi Network of Amtrak.

To help make it happen, Amtrak partnered with NEWMEDIA, whose proprietary ad server model hosts, serves, and tracks all Acela AmtrakConnect Wi-Fi advertising, wirelessly, in real-time. Despite their location in New York, Amtrak utilized NEWMEDIA’s Denver-based web development experts to architect, build, and manage the server infrastructure 24/7, and our system has reliably supported up to 25,000,000 hit requests per month while ensuring a seamless and transparent experience for Amtrak Acela passengers on a daily basis, all year long.
