Abstract:
A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for en-route wireless network access are provided. A server receives from a mobile device information of a route along which the mobile device moves. The server determines registered wireless access points along the route. The server sends information of the mobile device and user credentials to one or more providers of the registered wireless access points. From the one or more providers, the server receives connection information of the registered wireless access points. The server sends the connection information to the mobile device. Based on the connection information, the mobile device establishes connectivity with respective ones of the registered wireless access points en-route.
