Real contributions, not estimates
Traditional coverage maps are based on models, projections, and carrier claims. They show where connectivity should exist. Linkr shows where connectivity does exist. Every hotspot on the network is a real contribution from a real participant. If it appears on the map, someone put it there.Live observability, not static data
Most connectivity information is out of date the moment it is published. Networks go down. Passwords change. Access points move. Linkr tracks availability and reliability in real time. You can see not just that a hotspot exists, but whether it is currently online, how consistently it has been available, and what its performance looks like.Community-powered, not centrally controlled
Linkr does not own the network. The network is the sum of its contributors. Individuals share hotspots from their homes, offices, and devices. Organizations deploy connectivity across campuses and cities. Each contribution adds to the whole. This is not crowdsourcing data about someone else’s network. This is people building the network itself.Access, not just discovery
Finding a network is only useful if you can connect to it. Linkr provides a unified way to access contributed hotspots. You do not need to hunt for passwords, register for accounts, or negotiate terms at each location. If a hotspot is on Linkr and available to you, you can use it.Comparison

Linkr is what connectivity infrastructure looks like when it is built by the people who use it.
