The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Setting up wireless network on large estate - recommendations on setup, bandwidth and hardware

Asked by nhaydock in Wireless Technologies, Wireless Local Area Network, Wireless Networking

Tags: Wireless

Hi,

I have been tasked with setting up a wireless network at my employers large estate. Requirement is that all rooms be able to have wireless access throughout the year and that the network be able to accommodate conference users every two years.

I have attached a file that outlines the estate and the approximate distances to the office. Currently there are two residential Time Warner Road Runner high speed cable internet lines (max 5mbps each) One going to the office #26 and one going to room #15.

The rooms are hardly ever full throughout the year, typically a max 3-5 (10 people) of them are only used at any one time during the year.

However every 2 years a big conference is held on the estate - all rooms are full and people also come from nearby hotels and need internet access to get at emails, etc. The conference usually hosts 70 people but I would say we can safely half that amount for those trying to get on the internet at any one time.

I have phoned Time Warner and we can get a Business (15mbps) Line on the estate and that this could possibly coexist with the current two residential lines. What I am thinking is getting the business line into room #15 (this has to be the permanent main line as it is under contract) and then getting the two current residential lines re-cabled to #42 and #31 or thereabouts (these are month to month contract lines and only firing these up when the conference comes round)

My questions:

1. Do you think the above strategy is any good?
2. Do you think we will have enough available bandwidth to support a max of 35 simultaneous connections?
3. If so how do I mange all 3 seperate connections and pass people off to the next router if one is maxed out?
4. what type of hardware would you reccommend using and where would I place them so the whole estate is lit up?

Am I missing anything? Budget is not really a big issue.......

Many Thanks
Neil
