Cox is a no-go, for the same reason. Copper State is getting me a quote from another wireless provider who has done many other installations for Marriott hotels around the Phoenix area. This may be our best hope, depending on whether they can get line-of-sight to their towers. I'll update the ticket w/ more details once I learn more. -- Ticket URL: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/19#comment:21 fudcon-planning http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon FUDCon event planning ___ fudcon-planning mailing list fudcon-planning@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning

Qwest's quote came back and was way too high, and I'm still waiting for further details from the others. -- Ticket URL: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/19#comment:20 fudcon-planning http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon FUDCon event planning ___ fudcon-planning mailing list fudcon-planning@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning

They can't get an antenna on the roof of the hotel. Too peaked, very little access. Just not possible. They tried to see if we could shoot through a window, but the windows were too low. One option is to put an antenna on a man lift or scissor, and leave it there for the duration. The cost goes up, however, to pay for the rental of the lift. He also mentioned an internet provider very close to the hotel (Desert Internet? He said it was just across Mill Ave), and that they might be able to quote us something as well. -- Ticket URL: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/19#comment:18 fudcon-planning http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon FUDCon event planning ___ fudcon-planning mailing list fudcon-planning@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning

They're staying with a firm $2500 cost for 45mbit service. If/when we decide we're ready to move forward, they'll send a technician to the hotel to verify that they can get signal to the roof of the hotel. Because this is licensed-spectrum wireless, they'll need to know our final decision at least a month before the conference. -- Ticket URL: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/19#comment:8 fudcon-planning http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon FUDCon event planning ___ fudcon-planning mailing list fudcon-planning@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning

They'd need to climb on the hotel roof to make sure they have line-of-sight to their tower, but they think they can bring in a 45-megabit connection. Their normal cost is roughly $2500 for this. I'm working with them to see if we can get the price down, possibly by giving them some advertising as a sponsor of the conference. I'll update the ticket as I know more. -- Ticket URL: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/19#comment:2 fudcon-planning http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon FUDCon event planning ___ fudcon-planning mailing list fudcon-planning@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning
