As a result of COVID-19, now more than ever, access to the internet is critical for both work and school leaving people heavily reliant on technology. Coupled with the financial strain many families are facing during these times, there can be a gap in access.
To help bridge this gap in access, Dr. Brittany McDonald of Uptown Partners of Pittsburgh and Dr. Moshood Martins of Precision Orthodontics worked with Meta Mesh Wireless Communities to provide free, fast, and reliable public Wi-Fi to the Uptown Community. The initial site for installation of this pilot project is on Jumonville Street and Fifth Avenue providing over 200,000 square feet of coverage, including a homeless shelter for women with dependent children. The service will be supported for 5 years.
“Uptown Partners plans to expand this project in the future with the goal of free public Wi-Fi in all of Uptown.” – Dr. Brittany McDonald
“I am proud to announce my partnership with Uptown Partners of Pittsburgh and making an impact in the community of Uptown” – Dr. Moshood Martins
The service will be free to all in that area with no login required. Access will be granted by simply selecting the network name. For more information, please visit www.uptownpartners.org or call Uptown Partners of Pittsburgh at 412.742.4483.
