The WiFi on Wheels mobile connectivity hub is equipped with a router contributed by Cradlepoint and unlimited wireless data from AT&T available at a radius of 100-200 feet, depending on the terrain of the area. PIDF staff members operate the van, which is parked at various locations throughout the Wai‘anae community on weekdays during school hours. David Miyashiro, whose organization HawaiiKidsCAN has been a leading proponent for the WiFi on Wheels initiative in Hawai‘i, is working with additional community partners to roll out more vans in areas such as downtown Honolulu and on Maui, Moloka‘i and Hawai‘i Island.
