Subject: [THIN] Citrix and WLAN
I have a major roll out project that has been pass on to me to =
implement. I
work for a school. Every student and every staff member will be =
receiving a
Laptop (already ordered). I will have to roll out approximately 800 =
Laptops.
These laptops are expected to connect to our Citrix XP farm. The farm =
is
balanced and can handle the load. The problem is I need to setup the
Wireless part. Questions are as follows.
1.. Should I go with 802.11g or 802.11a?
2.. How many access points do I need without too much sacrificing =
speed?
We have classrooms varying from about 20'x30' to 30'x40'. The rooms can =
have
up to 36 laptops in them running simultaneously. The neighboring room =
as
well. Rooms are gather in straight lines ranging from 3 to 7 room in a
specific "wing". Wing are at least 50' from each other. The problem =
arises,
in the access point load. Should I put more than one access point in =
each
room, if so, how to locate it so that there is not conflicts between =
rooms?
From the reading which I have done and previous experience is not to =
put
more than about 8 or so computers on any one access point. We published =
the
desktop. Short animated video clips (up to 30 seconds) are currently =
used.
Our wired based in each classroom up to 8 computers and we have no =
problems
to speak of. We have 36 classrooms. The final piece of the pie is that =
I
have just over $1 million this year to get the job done.
So far I was thinking of getting a bunch of one of the following? Any =
ideas?
Cisco Aironet 1210 Access Point
Linksys WAP55AG
NetGear Model WG602
Of course I will need to purchase matching Ethernet cards for the =
laptops.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
