Ruckus Wireless, a part of Brocade, and Intersection, an urban experience company, have announced a partnership aimed at bringing free high-speed public WiFi to city streets and transit hubs around the globe.
As cities around the world face aging infrastructure and growing populations, leaders are working to improve civic services and better engage citizens without cost to taxpayers. The engagement between Ruckus and Intersection delivers free, sustainable connectivity through the convergence of world-class wireless technology, digital services and a viable business model supported by advertising.
Intersection, the lead company behind LinkNYC, develops cutting-edge platforms that offer services like free gigabit public WiFi and context-aware content, which generates value for cities, citizens, and brands. Ruckus’ technology enables connected devices and users on Intersection’s platform receive a reliable, high-performance connection.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Intersection, which enables premier smart city projects like LinkNYC, one of the largest and fastest free public WiFi network in the world, which will soon extend to London and cities across the UK,” says Dan Rabinovitsj, chief operating officer of Ruckus Wireless Business Unit, Brocade. “The use of our Smart Wireless solutions, including carrier grade controllers, adaptive antenna technology and location based services, allows Intersection to continue to deliver more connected, seamless and human experiences across digital and physical worlds while also improving city operations.”
