Network security in a hotdesk office
Someone has asked me to get involved in the setting up of a small office in which desks will be rented by individuals or groups on a short or long term basis. There will be around 25 desks situated in different offices, each one with a network data port. There will be a wireless lan also. I'm also told there will be a communal printer station.
Obviously this is going to be a hostile network with lots of strangers working individually or in groups and they will be coming and going at random. Although previously I have handled small office networks for static businesses, I'll have to consider the dynamics of this new proposal and plan the security carefully.
I'm asking for help in creating a fundamental hardware/software plan for a network such as the one described above. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the prompt reply.
There will be no workstations at the desks, the clients will bring their own laptops /devices. Each desk will have a 2 data ports though as a separate telecoms company will be installing telephones which I guess will be IP phones.
Just got to make sure that the security is tight and that stations are separated where required although if a group of people rent an office then they will probably want to share files. The that group of people may move out and that particular office may then be rented by individuals on random desks.
