The Beavercreek Popcorn Festival was held the weekend of September 10-11. Some Miami Valley Microwave members are also members of the Beavercreek Township Fire Department Auxiliary and received permission to set up a demonstration of mesh capabilities at the festival. Two Auxiliary vans were positioned at each end of Dayton-Xenia Road (one at Fairfield Rd. and one at Meadow Bridge Drive). A camera, phone, and Mikrotik panel were deployed on a mast at the east end and a Mikrotik dish and phone were deployed at the west end near the Fire Department. Demonstrations of the camera and phone system were made for the Fire Chief, several Auxiliary members, as well as other firefighters and officers. All were very impressed with the technology and looked forward to hearing more about MVMA capabilities.
