Grand Rapids, MI turns parks into connectivity islands with Network in a Box pilot

Grand Rapids, MI Parks Network in a Box Pilot

En cours

Wi-Fi hotspots were installed at 10 Grand Rapids parks to deal with digital access issues exposed by COVID-19. The primary criteria for park selection were daily use and structures ideal for hotspot installation. Each hotspot works over a 900-foot range with the capacity to serve 50 devices at once. The Network in a Box pilot is funded by the CARES Act through December 2021 with city officials evaluating Wi-Fi use for potential use in 2022.
