Free Wi-Fi coming to The Underline: building connectivity and community

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Hotwire Communications is partnering with Friends of The Underline and The Underline Conservancy to provide free public Wi-Fi for all visitors of The Underline.

Free public Wi-Fi is available in Phase 1, Brickell Backyard and will be available in select areas along the 10-mile Underline to serve the larger community and The Underline’s robust programming, events and activities, and technology infrastructure. Wi-Fi placement and availability is in the planning and design phase along with Underline Phases 2 and 3 in the additional future 9.5 miles of The Underline.

“Hotwire Communications’ free Wi-Fi service helps bring a multi-dimensional experience to Underline visitors and guests,” said Meg Daly, Friends of The Underline founder. “Whether enjoying nature, walking, biking or playing basketball, you can have a virtual experience supported by Wi-Fi from the convergence of education, art, public health and technology.”

This free service provided by Hotwire will allow people using The Underline and the many transit systems along the Miami-Dade County Metrorail to tap in to other resources while visiting or transiting in and around the park. Hotwire and The Underline are working together to make sure everyone has access to nature and information both on and offline.

“Hotwire Communications is a committed member of the South Florida community, and we’re proud to partner with The Underline and its mission,” said Kristin Johnson, Hotwire’s co-founder and CEO. “The Underline is designed to bring people together, and with the Wi-Fi access Hotwire is providing, we hope to make it an even more connected space.”

Benefits include:
• Wi-Fi to allow visitors to spend more time, access information and community resources.

• Hotwire’s contribution of free Wi-Fi is a part of the bigger vision of physical connectivity and community connections.

Visitors will be able to:
Play Dig & Learn, an educational Augmented Reality game developed by Miami Dade College (MAGIC), accessing more information about what you can do on The Underline;

Learn about what is happening along The Underline including free events, programming and activities;

GPS for directional assistance;

Provide feedback and comments, and

Make a donation, or sign up to volunteer on The Underline.

The Underline is a planned 10-mile urban trail, linear neighborhood park and public art destination that will span from the Miami River, north of the Brickell Metrorail station, to Dadeland South. The Underline project will feature dedicated bike and pedestrian paths, amenities, art, programming, lighting, native vegetation as well as safety features and improvements at road crossings. The Underline will be built in phases, the first of which will begin in the Brickell area.
