We have been using Unifi (a Ubiquiti WIFI product) for local conventions
and festivals. The product is fairly cheap, robust, and their access
points have very good range. We have deployed it at several commercial
businesses as well with great success. The deployment is very easy. We
run the controller on a VM at our NOC, but you can also run it locally
at the event as well.

Besides this, we have a fairly beefy box that handles DNS and DHCP and
basic firewalling.

Have you had to/been able to haul in your own bandwidth to feed it?  What
class?  (Real DS3/OC1/OC3, FiOS/HFC, something else?)

Cheers,
