2018 BUCKEYE MOUNTAIN USER GROUP EVENT RECAP
Thank you to all who attended our Buckeye Mountain User Group Event – “Solving Problems with Technology”, June 4th – 6th.
This two-day event took place at the Marriott Country Club Plaza located in the beautiful Kansas City Plaza.
We were thrilled to have both our customers and partners travel from near and far for a collaborative effort;
discussing challenges and solutions associated with rugged mobile technology trends, lessons learned, and
solving unique customer problems.
During our event we addressed several topics:
SECTION 1: SOLVING WIRELESS PROBLEMS
Our wireless partners addressed challenging Railroad and Intermodal wireless problems
related to Wi-Fi connectivity, communications management and minimizing the need for costly infrastructure.
