Submission + - Ask Slashdot: 4G Networking Advice for Large Outdoor Festival?

xanadu113 writes: I help out with a large outdoor festival each year (Seattle Hempfest), and we use 4G hotspots on-site for our internet needs. Due to being at the bottom of the hill (in Myrtle Edwards park in downtown Seattle, WA right on the sound), we have problems with loss of signal, bandwidth switching (going between 4G/3G/2G, etc.

As wireless internet is our only option on site, we need to do something about improving the signals. What would be the best way to do a site survey of the 4G signals to select the best locations for hotspots, as well as the best carrier to use...? We need potentially up to 10 devices per hotspot, and up to 10 hotspots or so.

Also, would putting up a 4G repeater be a good option to solve this problem..?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide...

I think, in 3 years time, Drupal will be much easier to use, if they keep doing usability testing every version.

However, the code freeze may cause some issues that surface later to be difficult to fix in core for UX/UI issues, and could possibly have to wait until a later major version of Drupal to fix. Don't get me wrong, I love Drupal, and use it almost exclusively, unless I'm forced to use one of the other CMS's....

Comment USPS Priority Mail - Free shipping supplies? (Score 1) 582

How much does the USPS spend per year giving people free shipping supplies for Priority Mail...?

I pulled up their financial reports for 2013, that information is probably buried within other numbers.

I'm willing to bet they could be saving a ton of money by CHARGING small amounts for these materials... But what do I know...?
