Presentation: “The history of bringing HDTV to an Access Point” by Brian Walden.
Brian, a longtime NYCwireless member, is an excellent speaker. His presentation will cover:

• how we went from UHV to HDTV to 802.11g
• why 802.11g should be able to handle a lot traffic
• why the new HDTV standard is the future but isn’t backward compatible to RV owners (no HDTV for RVers),
• and much more.

Following presentation:

• Hands-on Breakout Sessions – divide into various focus groups: (e.g. Intro to Beginners, Antennas and Access Points, Volunteerism, Soekris Development, Network Security)
• Other miscellaneous updates.
• SIG Updates
