PlugFest participants who are shipping equipment to and from the University of New Hampshire-InterOperability Lab (UNH-IoL) must cover all shipping and customs/duties costs. Failure to do so will require the UNH-IoL Team to bill your company for any outstanding shipping and customs/duties charges plus a $100.00 handling fee. Carriers suggested to receive/ship are FedEx and UPS.
Storage space at UNH-IoL is limited. We request that all products be shipped to arrive no earlier than Tuesday, September 17th (one week prior to the event) and no later than Friday, September 20th (to ensure product arrival and delivery can be confirmed prior to attendees traveling).
Notes regarding luggage and customs:
For customs, international attendees will need a proforma document filled out by your customs broker or company’s shipping handler. This provides a declaration of the value of the product, the destination (IoL’s address), and that the product is being used for testing and will be returning to your country. It is suggested to put your product in your checked luggage. If your product is small enough to do so, you might want to bring a spare controller that way. If you do bring one in your baggage, you still need a proforma for it.
If your product does not make it in time, we will adjust the schedule to accommodate you in other ways.
- Hub / switch large enough to connect all of your products and laptops and to connect to the other team’s hub/switch.
- Laptops and tools needed to configure and debug your product setup (such as WireShark, your configuration tools, and possibly your development environment).
For shipping larger products, please be aware that:
- Crates must not exceed the dimensions of the UNH-IOL loading dock area, which is 56 inches wide x 90 inches high (1.4m x 2.28m). Each crate should not exceed 4,000 pounds (1,814 kg). If a crate shipped is larger, we may have to de-crate the equipment in order to bring it into the lab.
- The loading dock includes a dock leveler, and a liftgate is not required for delivery vehicles. Please note, it is an alley dock and it may be difficult for larger trailers to access. The recommended maximum trailer length is 48 feet.
