Intersection

470 Park Ave South, 10th Floor, New York, NY, 10016, United States

Overview

Intersection produces obelisk-like Link kiosks that deliver free wireless internet, localized content, government communications, and advertising; its deployments include LinkNYC, InLinkUK, and LinkPHL. The company’s devices have been installed across New York and London and in transit networks such as New York’s subways and SEPTA trains. Intersection was founded in 2015 through the merger of Titan Outdoor and Control Group by a consortium that included Sidewalk Labs. The business seeks to be a core component of smart-city initiatives by offering connectivity, data, and monitoring tools to municipalities, brands, and consumers. The rollout has drawn privacy scrutiny—early beacons that could track users were removed from New York kiosks after reports. Intersection plans a major hiring push and expanded installations across multiple U.S. cities and London while accelerating digitization of outdoor ad inventory and development of its technological capabilities.
