New outdoor Wi-Fi networks expanded by Downtown Brooklyn Partnership to include NYCHA
The Downtown Brooklyn Partnership on Wednesday announced plans to provide free Wi-Fi access in the outdoor areas of New York City Housing Authority’s (NYCHA) Whitman and Ingersoll Houses in Downtown Brooklyn.
Twenty-six access points are currently being installed at Whitman and Ingersoll. The program will make Wi-Fi available in outdoor public open spaces including seating areas, basketball courts and playgrounds, along with NYCHA-owned retail, and on Myrtle Avenue.
The Downtown Brooklyn Wi-Fi Partnership advances the OneNYC goal of covering a critical mass of the city’s public spaces with free Wi-Fi, and will help NYCHA achieve the NextGeneration goal of creating more connected communities for all residents.
