In addition to that, AT&amp;T has also promised that free Wi-Fi service will be available at these smart bus shelters and information kiosks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Officials from AT&amp;T further said that the smart bus shelters would have digital displays and intelligent lighting. The digital display feature will help the riders to know when their next bus will arrive, whereas the touchscreen information kiosks will provide details on tourist spots. The booths will also have USB charging ports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is reported that AT&amp;T is also planning to put up a few digital display boards in O\u2019Hare International Airport. The primary purpose of this installation is to offer real-time ground transportation information to the passengers. However, AT&amp;T has confirmed that these display boards will not offer Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chicago\u2019s chief information officer, Brenna Berman, recently stated that two or three connected smart bus shelters and five information kiosks would be installed in a few months. She added that they would reveal the locations of the tests by next month.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2040\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2040\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2040\" class=\"wp-image-2040 size-medium\" title=\"AT&amp;T Plans \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/ATT-U-Verse-TV-e1483703455534-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"AT&amp;T U-Verse TV\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><em>Information Kiosks <\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The general manager and executive director of the AT&amp;T Smart Cities program, Mike Zeto, said that the cost of the pilot will be covered by the Smart Cities program, which will last for a period of 3 to 12 months. \u201cAll the pilots we&#8217;re doing are designed to keep the residents more productive and engaged as they move about town.
