Another option, I would suggest to sign-up for a Boingo or similar account where you will be accessing the internet if the venue hotel is sold out. It's about $30 per month and gives you access throughout the city as well. You just need to cancel it before the month is over and do not use it outside the area that you purchased the coverage for (surcharges will be too high), i.e. If you purchase it in the US it would good throughout US. It was very helpful in Paris with the network issues there even in the venue hotel. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: 85attendees-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:85attendees-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Marc Petit-Huguenin Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2012 3:15 PM To: 85attendees@ietf.org Subject: [85attendees] Experiment -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I would like to do some experiments to check the feasibility of extending the IETF network to hotels that are not directly connected to the meeting venue. Last time in Vancouver my room was at the Sheraton, with the usual crappy Internet connection that seems the norm in all hotels around the world. That room was in direct line of sight of the Hyatt, so it made me thinking that it could have been possible to establish a wireless link between the two hotels. This time I have a room at the main hotel, so I'll bring with me a pair of Ubiquiti Nanostation LOCO M5, and try to verify connectivity with as many hotels in line of sight as possible. Obviously we cannot start to coordinate this until I know where my room will be at the Hilton, but I'll send an email Sunday afternoon after check-in. Meanwhile there is one thing that people interested can help with. If we manage to establish line-of-sight, we'll still have to solve the problem of redistributing the IETF network inside the remote hotels to the IETF participants. A friend of mine tried using Powerline Ethernet (Netgear) without any success in a Westin hotel (even between rooms on the same floor), but we probably need to test more hotels to see if this really cannot work, so I'll also bring with me 4 powerline adapters. Other solutions that can be tried are Ethernet over Coax (using the TV distribution system) or Ethernet over the phone system (HomePNA). Another solution is a mesh wireless network, but that probably requires access stations with dual radios. Anyway if you have this kind of hardware and can bring it with you, perhaps we can do more testing and find a workable solution for IETF 86.
