Tell me what you want and I can put together a quote/recommendation of
what you need to get. Putting together wireless networks isn't as
tricky as it could possibly be. A lot of things depend on that old
addage...location, location, location. If you would like assistance
with this issue, I would be more than happy to offer my support to you.
The company I work for and our sister company specialize in wireless
networks here in northern Iowa.
Thank you,

I normally don't disagree with John but I would go with 802.11a.
It runs in the 5ghz spectrum and b and g run in the 2.4ghz spectrum. =
=3D
Microwaves and a lot of other things run in the 2.4 ghz range and can =
=3D
account for a lot of interference.=3D20
I have got a ton of documentation on this from some classes I went =3D
through with Proxim. Email me off the list and I will be more than =3D
happy to send them to you.
The number of access points you need will vary on all kinds of things.
=3D You will have to test like hell to figure that out.

I have a major roll out project that has been pass on to me to =3D3D
implement. I work for a school. Every student and every staff member
will be =3D3D receiving a Laptop (already ordered). I will have to roll
out approximately 800 =3D3D 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 =
=3D3D
speed? We have classrooms varying from about 20'x30' to 30'x40'. The
rooms can =3D =3D3D 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 =3D3D arises, in the access point load. Should I put
more than one access point in =3D3D each room, if so, how to locate it =
so
that there is not conflicts between =3D3D 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 =3D =3D3D the desktop. =
Short
animated video clips (up to 30 seconds) are currently =3D3D used. Our
wired based in each classroom up to 8 computers and we have no =3D3D
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 =
=3D
=3D3D ideas?
Cisco Aironet 1210 Access Point
Linksys WAP55AG
NetGear Model WG602
Of course I will need to purchase matching Ethernet cards for the =3D3D
laptops.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
