Chevrolet and Autonet Mobile have announced they’re turning Chevy trucks and SUVs into mobile WiFi hot spots.
Available now as a dealer-installed option, the service enables Internet access for laptop commuters and other Web-enabled mobile devices in seven Chevrolet trucks, including the Avalanche, Equinox, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and Traverse. Cost for the option is $200 for the remainder of the year--about half the normal price. Add to that a $29 per month Internet access charge, along with an unspecified installation cost.
Chevy and Autonet Mobile say the service will create an Internet hotspot within the cabin and provide coverage for a 150-ft radius around the vehicle.
WiFi can give road tripping, camping, and tailgating a 21st-century twist, and it may be a real aid to commercial users working in the field.
