The festival actually runs May 28-30, but we'll start setting up on the 24th and be tearing down until the 31st of May.

For the Del Mar festival, we build a large wireless network using almost a mix of Linksys and Cisco gear, high gain antennas, and some huge 30-50 ft tall masts.

With this gear, we essentially build a ring around the grounds thereby creating our service backbone.

From the nodes on this backbone, we bridge off and shoot into other directions feeding various venues along the ring.

Additionally, we will be making some long cable runs (600'+) using CAT5e and some range extenders to increase our reliability, uptime, and throughput.

To signup for Del Mar, please submit your resume to infotech@spiritwestcoast.org. Due to the nature of our work, we must prescreen all applicants.

The SWC IT Dept is always looking for talented help. Using your God-given technology skills, you can join the IT Dept of SWC and make a difference!

We work long and hard hours. Our work begins approx 1 week before festival, so Monday, 5/24/2010 for Del Mar, and Saturday, 6/24/2010 for Monterey.

All applicants are pre-screened prior to acceptance to the team. This typically involves submitting a resume (if you have one) or brief summary of qualifications, and possibly a brief phone interview. Our criteria isn't terribly strict, but we do ask for these items in advance to ensure proper qualifications prior to festival.

For more information, please email infotech@spiritwestcoast.org (no solicitations please).

The festival actually runs July 1 - 3, but we'll start setting up on the 26th of June and be tearing down until the 4th* of July.

For the Monterey festival, we build a large wired network using approximately 2000' of cable, a few range extenders, and a number of GB switches. We also have a few wireless runs with Cisco gear.

In addition to the wired network, we have a handful of mesh network devices that are deployed to blanket as much of the venue as possible with free wifi. We do this with high gain antennas and some huge 30-50 ft tall masts, but this will be secondary to the wired network.

The setup for this festival follows more of a star topology than a ring.

To signup for Monterey, please submit your resume to infotech@spiritwestcoast.org. Due to the nature of our work, we must prescreen all applicants.

* teardown for Monterey may run longer, perhaps as late as the 5th.
