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.

SECTION 2: TABLET, HANDHELD AND KIOSK DEPLOYMENTS

Our Railroad and Intermodal professionals took the stand to speak about their own experience surrounding wireless networking challenges and solutions, rugged mobile technology and selection criteria, software requirements and usability, and the unique technological requirements of railroad and intermodal operations.

SECTION 3: CONTINUED PARTNER SOLUTIONS

Our partners presented their product portfolios and explained how they are helping to solve problems in the Railroad, Intermodal and Port industries; assisting growth in our industry and pushing innovation.

SECTION 4: TELEMATICS/IMRS/AIM DISCUSSION

The Buckeye Mountain team discussed product updates and roadmaps for our latest software applications.

Of course, our conference wasn’t ALL work! We kicked things off on Monday night with our networking reception in the hotel’s terrace room, overlooking the beautiful Kansas City Plaza.The weather did not disappoint on Tuesday evening, and everyone was able to enjoy a few hours of tee-time on the links at TopGolf!

We couldn’t write this recap without a special shout-out to our conference sponsors; Xplore, Winmate, GetWireless, Sierra Wireless, Panasonic, Cambium, Netmotion, Honeywell, Juniper Systems, Zebra, and Trimble! You understand that our missions in this industry are bigger than any one organization, and for that we thank you for your partnership.
