Yes, we backhaul our own bandwidth to it; either using Cambium or Ubiquiti unlicensed 5Ghz backhauls. Depending on the distance and type of backhaul, we can get 50-150mbps to the event. Josh On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 5:13 PM, Jay Ashworth <jra@baylink.com> wrote:

We have been using Unifi (a Ubiquiti WIFI product) for local conventions and festivals. The product is fairly cheap, robust, and their access points have very good range. We have deployed it at several commercial businesses as well with great success. The deployment is very easy. We run the controller on a VM at our NOC, but you can also run it locally at the event as well.
Besides this, we have a fairly beefy box that handles DNS and DHCP and basic firewalling.
Have you had to/been able to haul in your own bandwidth to feed it? What class? (Real DS3/OC1/OC3, FiOS/HFC, something else?)
