Rebublican's hit the Beach without a hitch

The SC Republican debate is now history. Wanted to give everyone an update from HTC's view.

HTC had six of our employees on-site for support, should it be necessary. Security was very high. In fact, we had trouble getting the HTC employees supporting our technologies into the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. Passing police checkpoints to enter Myrtle Beach Convention Center properties. Media passes, more checkpoints, and metal detectors. Local Law Enforcement, SLED, and Federal Agents. Finally, we were ushered into secure area where were to remain. Nothing glamourous for us. If support was needed we would be escorted on a needs basis. All systems had been verified so everyone was confident about the technologies deployed.

Early after arriving there was an issue with an ISDN line. This happened to be the circuit used for transmitting the FOX News Radio signal. Within 30 minutes, we had the problem corrected. Everything else worked fantastic. The wireless technology deployed confirmed between 350 and 400 devices connected, and the Gigabit internet pipe just kept humming along.

On a personal note, we found out later why our area was so secure. We were "in one of the paths" to the candidates "green rooms". Ron Paul, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Rudy Giuliani and there respective political entorages offered a "Hello" as they passed by (Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee obviously came in from different entrances). I even stepped out to shake John McCain's hand when he passed. Pretty cool!
