Need advice on IT purchase
The health clinic that I work at is willing to invest in the creation of a wireless network for our future electronic medical record application. They also want to give me an opportunity to gain some quality CISCO experience. I think I have everything figured out that we need, but I just want to be sure before I place my order.
Let me say at the onset that nothing listed here will be connected to our actual network until my setup and configuration has been checked by a CISCO security expert. This is as much a training project for me as it is a way to expand our capacity and increase our network security.
Here is my shopping list:
Cisco 2106 Wireless LAN Controller
AIR-WLC2106-K9
6 Cisco 802.11a/b/g Access Points
AIR-AP1131AG-A-K9
10 Cisco 802.11a/b/g Wireless CardBus Adapters
AIR-CB21AG-A-K
4 Cisco 802.11a/b/g Wireless PCI Adapters
AIR-PI21AG-A-K
6 Cisco Power Injectors for Access Points and Bridges
AIR-PWRINJ3
And because we can only order CISCO products once per year:
Cisco Security Router/Managed Switch with Dual Fast Ethernet WAN
CISCO1811/K9
Cisco ASA 5510 Security Plus Appliance
ASA 5510-SEC-BUN-K9
Can anyone think of anything else that we need or should get?

GREAT! The accountant has asked me to hold off on the order until monday, so I'll leave this open until then.

We are getting some new switches through our parent organization.
The wireless cards are mainly to give us some flexibility if we ever needed to set up a few desktops in an odd spot.
Both of our buildings are 2 storys and not very large. 4 is probably plenty, 6 is just extra insurance. In the past when I've needed to go wireless for an event that we were hosting, I was able to disconnect all our workstations and server from the network and provide full wireless internet to both buildings with 3 small linksys wireless routers. I'm really looking forward to not having to do that again.
