LinkNYC Wi-Fi Kiosk Installation
Wi-Fi Kiosk Installation for the Five Burroughs
MFM Contracting is happy to be part of the CityBridge Wi-Fi Kiosk installation project, LinkNYC.
“LinkNYC is a new communications network that is replacing New York City pay phones with state-of-the-art kiosks called Links.”
Our firm helped bring free Wi-Fi & charging stations to New York City. We worked with the CityBridge. CityBridge is a project that includes Intersection, Qualcomm and CIVIQ Smartscapes.
Our Role
Our team removed the old phone booths. Then we installed conduit, electrical cable & the new free public Wi-Fi Kiosks throughout the five boroughs.
Improving NYC & Generating Terrific Press Reviews
ARS Technica has a thorough 4 min video review of the new services on YouTube here. In 2016 during the early years of the project they wrote,
“Currently the kiosks are spread out around Manhattan and Queens, and there are plans to install a total of 7,500 stations around the city over the next few years. Link NYC explains on its website that all the money used to build these kiosks comes from partnerships and advertising (which makes sense, since most of the surface area of each kiosk is covered in scrolling ads), so taxpayer money isn’t used in the program.”
