Hello All, I have a request for two things that would require someone who services the Alliston or Barrie area. It is for a small charity which is operating in Egbert, Ontario, which is near Cookstown, ON (if you know the area)
1 - Review of network design & possibly consulation in installing fiberoptics and/or terminating fiber. We are networking several buildings 500 - 1400 feet apart, that cannot be reliably network wirelessly. The best solution now seems to be fibre. We have many volunteers, so we can do most of the work for trenching, putting it in conduit and running it into buildings, but we would need someone to be able to terminate the fibre in each of the buildings. Right now there's about 6 - 8 points that need termination (3-4 runs). We would really like to see if going this route will be within a reasonable cost/ Please let me know if you have these skills or skills that may be helpful with this type of thing, or if you know of anyone else good to contact for this type of thing. 2 - On-call support for Asterisk phone system Being a small charity and also only volunteer-run, there is not always an IT person on site to take care of problems if they come up, or those capable of fixing the connection may not be available. The setup is fairly small - 8 extensions at the moment and maybe up to 12. However many of the extensions are spread out over a somewhat large campus of a few acres, with maybe 8 different buildings that telephone / network services will be in. Some situations that may need to have you cover are: -moving the system & config over to a backup server -troubleshooting connectivity problems in different builings (say if there was some equipment failing) -any other things that could go wrong with a small network / asterisk server We could make sure our network layout is documented and try to make it as simple as possible to work on if needed. It would be nice if there is someone is established in this area and would be available over the years to be able to be called. Please let me know if you would be available in this area! Much thanks, Steven
