Hi,
I've been asked to design a wireless network infrastructure for a school... Now, I am an ICT Manager but Wireless is defo not my strong point.
Basically, i need total building coverage (and its a bloody awful shape with thick brick walls) and it needs to be able to handle a sh*t load of wireless laptops.... initially 40, but possibly expanding upto 120!!! i want one SSID and for these laptops to seemlessly roam anywhere in the building. This needs to be as damn near reliable as a physical network too (so as not to disrupt lessons).
In terms of wireless points, my initial thought would be to cat5 one in every classroom(also using power over ethernet) to get total coverage and i hope this would also help with the burden of so many devices connecting through the network.
I like the sound of some of the Netgear prosafe stuff but i dont really have a clue whats best out there... should i be looking at a, g or n? what equipement is best for handling such a load?
Cheers
Andy
