A LinkNYC 5G kiosk installed in Morris Heights is the first of its kind to be installed
in the Bronx.
The
kiosk offers free domestic calls and Wi-Fi, along with other digital services.
Unlike other kiosks that provide a 750-foot range, this kiosk
offers Wi-Fi access to those over 1,000 feet away.
The
city says it decided to roll out the new technology in Morris Heights to bridge
the digital divide in underserved communities.
The
city’s Office of Technology and Innovation plans to roll out 2,000 more of the
new kiosks across all five boroughs.
