I agree actually on the point-to-point thing.  That is a great
cost-effective solution - And there's no client support involved.  We
have several Cisco bridges linking off-campus sites.

What you may have to do is invest in a small amount of wiring in a Data
Closet.
Have Access points for the machines in the buildings connecting to a
small
hub or switch.
Then between buildings you can have a point to point antenna.

Avaya makes some very good products and also will help you set up VPN
connections if you are worried about security.

The school is in 2 buildings, approximately 200ft. apart.  We're looking
at
going wireless for all workstations in both buildings.

Are you looking at wireless for the individual machines or looking at
multiple buildings?

Security seems like a good concern..?  I don't know what grade levels
you
deal with, but when I was working on a school network, the silly kids
would
try everything to break into the Novell servers.  Unless you have some
serious resources I would think that this might cause for trouble then
it's
worth, although it would be cool...

Hello all,

I'm looking for some resources to evaluate the pros and cons of a
wireless 
network (PCs and phones) with internet access for a school.  It would
consist of around 125 total workstations, 50-75 for administrators and
teachers and 2-3 computer labs with 20-30 workstations each.  Currently
the
setup is individual workstations, a few of which have modems.  Of
course,
the main items would be cost, security, bandwidth, stability, and time
spent
on administration.  The school will be moving in 4-5 years, so we're
looking
at this as an option instead of investing thousands in wire.

Thanks,
