I personally do not have any experience in setting up such a network myself but our university uses the wireless network for internet access to some of the major departments. The project does not cover the whole campus as yet but we are working on that. As far as feasability under your current setup is concerned, we have a very dense network of wireless access points in each building. Each floor gets its own set of access points but this is to ensure that there is connectivity in every nook and corner of the building. Depending on the size of the complex you want to provide Wireless networking capabilities to, you might have to invest in higher number of Access Points. As far as Vendor's are concerned I am not even sure if the 802.11b frequency spectrum was open for public use in India. I think the Government has regulated that particular frequency range and does allow use of WiFi devices. I may be wrong on this, but this is the information I got 3 months back from the linux-delhi mailing list. But if it is allowed I would suggest you go in for Linksys hardware only. They are at the forefront of the whole wireless technology wagon. The equipment might be expensive but you will get a more reliable network. Let me know if there is any way I can help you with this endeavour. I am not currently in India so I will not be able to help you with the setup process but I can find out about people who might be able to help. I hope that helps you. --Karan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
