Free Wi-Fi network coming to NYC


LinkNYC is a new communications network that is replacing New York City pay phones with state-of-the-art kiosks called Links. Each Link is equipped with free services like high-speed Wi-Fi, phone calls, a tablet for web browsing, and device charging for anyone living in or visiting New York City to enjoy. In addition to Link’s features being free to the public, they also come at no cost to taxpayers. Over the next several years, over 7,500 Links will be installed across the five boroughs.

NYU WIRELESS Director and Tandon ECE Professor Sundeep Rangan explains the city’s new free Wi-Fi kiosk program.
