Re: Wifi at St Joseph Event
Basically we have $20,000 worth of equipment and a network engineer on-site to make sure everything was configured properly and wouldn't interfere. Actually probably had a lot less interference at St Joe this year because of it. With readily available wifi I saw a lot less hotspots popping up.

Wifi isn't the issue, wifi that is on the same band as the field is. Our Pod was programmed so it didn't touch the field's preferred band. (I'm not a network engineer so I could be misquoting here).

Ultimately we'd love to bundle a pod with each field. This would eliminate the "wifi" issue at every single event.
