Hiya Johnny,
This is a casino. The security and
reliability requirements rule out any 802.11 type gear.

prices
I would strongly suggest looking at Mikrotik for the following
reasons.
#1 - Pricing - very inexpensive to maintain and swap out
equipment in the event of a failure
#2 - You can provide them up to 36meg
connectivity for the same pricing anyone can offer then 10megs
#3 - Ease of
replacements
You can also provide them Wi-Fi connectivity with a MT
Based system for laptops in between the properties if they desire. The reason
I suggest MT is the amount of flexibility and options you can tack are are far
superior to any proprietory solution out there you can get your hands on.

Hi All,
I've been asked to provide a network for a complex of buildings.
They like the ease of deployment and flexibility of a Trango based network.
I'll lock them into a 3 year contract that will match the time frame I'll
need for a bank loan for the hardware.
I'll need to put in 3 ap's and 4 cpe units. As well as battery backup units
all installation work etc. Additional cpe is possible but not guaranteed in
the future.
My question is, what do I charge for this? I can handle the monthly part
but I've never put a service contract on a wlan before. Used to do it in my
copier days all the time so I understand the concept. Just need some help
with the numbers.
The site is about 1.5 hours from me, and that far from anyone else that
knows anything about anything too. I believe that the contract price should
be tied to cpe deployed.
Too low and any repair work, device failures etc. will kill me. Too high
and I'll loose the deal. What's standard in the industry? As I'll be using
Trango I'll hopefully be giving them 8 to 9 megs of throughput (all sites
are within 1/8th of a mile) from building to building. I'll likely only
contract for 6 megs though.
thanks,
Marlon
