We just turned on the first LinkPHL kiosks in Center City!
LinkPHL provides free secure wifi, phone calls, wayfinding, device charging, access to City services, and community info — and it’s completely free to use.
This modern, 21st century infrastructure comes at no cost to taxpayers. PECO is supporting the program as a sponsor for several years, with ads on the kiosks providing additional funding.
Over time, we’ll deploy 100 LinkPHL kiosks in high density, high pedestrian traffic areas throughout Philly, starting in Center City.
