Re: Build A Booth Spread the Word

Speaking from personal experience, the in-house wifi there isn't  
going to support much in the way of connection sharing. They can  
hardly handle the bandwidth requirements of directly connected  
users....and getting connected in it's self is a challenge, even when  
it's free (sponsored).

We (Stephouse) would be happy to sponsor a 3M WiMAX link for the  
purpose of re-broadcasting within the convention center. It will be  
an interesting challenge getting the signal indoors however, but I  
think it can be done with a few meraki's (the custom NetEquality  
version that can be fastened to the AC outlet would be ideal)

The receiver location will need line of sight to the KGON tower. I'll  
provide the WiMAX client device.
