Public Wi-Fi Where Detroit Gathers

Working with the Downtown Detroit Partnership, Cronus built and operates public Wi-Fi across the parks of the Central Business District, including Campus Martius, Cadillac Square, Capitol Park, Grand Circus Park and the Esplanade on Woodward.

We have brought the same networks to neighborhoods and districts, from Palmer Park to the Greektown district, where our cameras, sound sensors and Wi-Fi cover five square blocks. Because Cronus owns its network, we control the quality, the speed and the support.

Questions

Public Wi-Fi FAQ

What does it cost to put public Wi-Fi in a park or district?

Every space is different. Cost depends on the size of the area, how many people use it and the features you want, such as cameras or people counters. Branded splash pages with sponsor ads can help offset the cost. Request a quote and we will design a plan for your space.

Can public Wi-Fi handle big events and festivals?

Yes. Cronus designs public networks for crowds, from daily park visitors to major events like the 2024 NFL Draft in downtown Detroit, and can add temporary capacity for festivals and concerts.

How do you keep public Wi-Fi safe?

We use content filtering, network security and separate networks for the public, vendors and staff, and our Network Operations Center monitors the network 24/7.

Can the network include cameras and sensors?

Yes. The same network can carry live camera streams, Project Green Light feeds, people counters and sound sensors, so your space is connected, measured and safer.

What is the best public park Wi-Fi solution?

A good public park Wi-Fi solution combines weatherproof outdoor access points, a fast connection into the park, a branded login page and 24/7 monitoring. Cronus provides public Wi-Fi in Detroit parks including Campus Martius, Cadillac Square and the Riverwalk, and can add cameras, speakers and people counting on the same network.
