Video: Tables of Connection 'Connect' Residents

LOCATION: Orlando, Florida GRANTEE: City of Orlando

AARP Community Challenge funds were used to purchase and install "Tables of Connection," which are solar-operated, wheelchair-accessible tables that serve as Wi-Fi hotspots and charging

stations for wireless devices and laptops. Installed at Prince Hall Park and Willows Park, the tables, which are rated to withstand 175 mph winds, bring needed connectivity to two

neighborhoods where as many as 57 percent of residents lack broadband service. Local artists painted the concrete pads upon which the tables sit with positive images that were created with

input from local residents.
