Default Office network

Hi there, how do.....

my business is moving premises - nice.

I'd like to make or new location wireless, i'm planning to get a nice fat pipe in for the broadband connection (if anyone knows any killer deals, that would be appreciated).

As far as networking goes, I need a range of approx. 2000sq ft, but I need a real fast connection thats capable of handling large graphics files and general traffic - we are a print company so the files can be upto 300mb+. Plus we are also sharing a raid server that's got all the work on.

There is a mixture of macs & PCs on the network, image setters and digital presses - any suggestions please?

Mick

Just to let you know. On a wireless network the maximum data throughout you can realistically expect is approximately 40Mbits/s(802.11n) and that is only of you use the same product throughout your installation.. I would have thought this to be to slow for a printhouse as you will be waiting ages for data transfer. With 802.11g it is only approximately 20-25Mbit/s

If you are wanting real fast as you say then go with a wired gigaLAN setup.

If you are set on wireless then you can get some very flash 200Mbit/sec devices but they are made for PtP backhaul and cost around US$12K each. These were the fastest units I could find when we built our wireless network.

Regards

Fred
