Please Note: The above Wireless Services are purchased once onsite and it does time out if left idle for too long. Smart City does not advocate wireless options if your internet connection is mission critical to your booth. This is due to various reasons such as potential interference of unauthorized rogue wireless AP devices (i.e. MYFI devices and/or exhibitors setting up their own hotspots within the Center).
