Morning Alasdair Using Ubiquiti UniFi will be an absolute doddle for a deployment like that, 20-25 users fairly usual for most offices using wireless to be fair, so something like a UAP nanoHD spread around the building to give max coverage - depending on layout
Router wise, you could use the USG Pro so its all in the same controller to manage as it does have the failover / loadbalancing availability but to be fair I personally always suggest sticking in a MikroTik as it's so powerful, so perhaps a new RB4011UiAS-RM or even stepping up to a CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+ as its got dual PSU for resilliance Install wise, sadly cant recommend anyone, however the UniFi stuff is really easy to deploy, if you have used any centrally managed wireless in the past its all very similar - put the units in, make a note of its MAC to label / alias it later and spin up the controller (either on a CloudKey or download the software and spin up a Linux VM) then run the wizard and adopt them, simple as that 😊 Any Q's feel free to hit me up on or off list to explain Kev Many thanks Kevin Titmarsh M6EMT / 2E0LSR Wireless & Networking Consultant Ubiquiti Certified Trainer – UBWS / UBWA & UEWA E: [email protected] W: https://wisp.engineer/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/WISP_Engineer Facebook: https://fb.me/wispengineer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevintitmarsh/ Please treat the information within this email as CONFIDENTIAL between the “Sender” and the “Intended Recipient” and do not forward without expressed permission from the “Sender” -----Original Message----- From: uknof <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Panny Malialis Sent: 05 December 2018 23:14 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [uknof] Office fitout - ISP + Ubiquiti wifi/security cams We've had to sort out such sparkies botched attempts at data cabling many times. Most extreme example I have seen was where they hadn't even used a krone tool and simply pushed the wires into the back of the modules with a screwdriver. You are right about the cable quality too, you absolutely get what you pay for!
