Meeting Agenda:
* For our May meeting, we will be joined by representatives from the NYC Office of Technology and Innovation who will be giving us a presentation and update on their Link5G (cell/internet towers) and LinkNYC kiosks program. They will go into the myths vs facts about the two systems and give an in-depth overview of their purpose and how New Yorkers can utilize and benefit from this tech infrastructure.
* About Link5G: Link5G is LinkNYC’s second generation offering that will improve digital connectivity in New York City. Conceived in 2021 (the Year of 5G), Link5G enables the equitable deployment of both 5G cellular coverage and Wi-Fi connectivity across the five boroughs.
* About the Kiosks: LinkNYC is a communications network providing free high-speed public Wi-Fi in place of the city’s aging payphone infrastructure. Managed by DoITT, CityBridge, the franchisee, has LinkNYC kiosks (“Links”) throughout the five boroughs. Each Link provides Wi-Fi, nationwide calling, a dedicated 911 button, charging ports for mobile devices, and access to maps, 311, and other services.
