AP connectivity with one fiber cable
Hello Experts,
I am trying to design WLAN solution in open facility, due to cabling\connectivity issue following proposal is provided:
Assume a lager circular facility and outdoor APs (around 120 aps) need to be installed at peripheral.
we don't have POE option and to install multiple switches thus I need to validate following solution will work?
1. run fiber across the periphery.
2. connect fiber end to Switch and trunk it with vlan 10, define dhcp scope for vlan 10
3. splice fiber across the periphery at AP connectivity point.
4. use fiber to Ethernet converters.
5. we can use external power injectors.
would appreciate your help in validation.
TIA

it is an addon wlan service so no need of failover. Thus we are planning to have single fiber across and splice it at each AP point with fiber to ethernet converter.
Thus I need someone to validate if it will still work? TIA

explain step 3.. splicing fiber optic cable is very hard to do
You can't "trunk" with a single VLAN as you suggest...
With multiple network objects spliced onto the same connector like an old network hub from the 1980-1990s.
And carry any sort of bandwidth useful for wifi access.
Who proposed this design?

Thanks all for sharing valuable thoughts.
@robocat: my original solution was same as per your last comments however due to environmental challenges, I am trying to figure out alternative option.

Keeping this question open for few more thoughts??
ASKER
will be following my original solution proposed
as i can see this is some middle level connectivity if the Systems that are critical then you should plan for fail over too. like if suppose distance is less you can use repeater and aps
