Who we Are?

Intersection is the managing member of CityBridge, and the hiring entity.  CityBridge is the owner and operator of the LinkNYC network.  At LinkNYC you’ll have access to all of Intersection’s incredible benefits and career opportunities. 

LinkNYC is a first-of-its-kind communications network that provides free super fast, public Wi-Fi, phone calls, device charging, and access to city services to millions of New Yorkers and visitors across the five boroughs. And through content programs like Link Local and #ArtOnLink, LinkNYC is also a platform for community and civic engagement that supports small businesses, community organizations, and local artists. LinkNYC is delivered through a partnership between the City of New York and CityBridge, a NYC-based consortium of leading experts in media, technology, and connectivity.

LinkNYC recently received a $200 million investment that will accelerate the expansion of the network throughout New York City, expanding 5G access and bringing free high-speed Wi-Fi and other critical services to more New Yorkers in more neighborhoods across the city. Over the next several years, LinkNYC will more than double its current footprint, expanding its free public Wi-Fi network across thousands of newly deployed, second generation 5G-enabled kiosks, called Link5G. We’re building out our team to help us achieve our ambitious goals.
