Nobody told us about it, or gave us the password
It was originally going to be used by the VCF front desk in the parking lot until we had a chance to further test it and let everyone know about it. I didn't want everyone to know and then be disappointed before it was further tested. We had only tested it for 5 to 10 minutes about 2 months ago and it worked fine in one area. We were going to do further testing, but didn't have time due to lack of volunteers. It is the same camp Evans wi-fi that is available on campus transmitted across the road. It works in one particular area of the entrance, but when we moved across to the other side of the entrance, it had poor connectivity. So we used our Mobile Citizen mobile hotspot. We may offer guest access to this in the future, but keep in mind the range is limited and hasn't been tested yet.
If it was the same as the VCF standard Wi-Fi in house, then it was not working where I was

It was nice seeing everyone. I tried not to buy anything but I ended up having too as there was some good items.
I want to thank the team for putting this together. I didn't realize that I could have rented a table otherwise I would have and carried more stuff.
Jeff,
How did the extended Wi-Fi work in the parking lot?

Could use an AP or pair of them, one with a directional antenna to beam back at the building across the street and the other with a strong omni for local clients. I think I have a nice omni I can give you all, but it's 2.4GHz not 5. Solar power the whole rig to be green. - Ethan

Putting on my CTO hat for for this one: InfoAge cannot become responsible for providing permanent infrastructure for the area A managed, portable setup is workable, however it would be one more thing for the show-runner to coordinate for VCF events. Martin
