Supporting Vendors
Xfinity is powering an additional private Wi-Fi network for vendors at Oktoberfest. In years past, vendors have been restricted to primarily accepting cash. We are excited to help both vendors and patrons have a smoother experience using our fast and reliable network.
We have also recently provided connectivity for the Oregon International Air Show in McMinnville and Hillsboro, the Portland Classic golf tournament, the Oregon Jamboree, and several other events.
