- Easy answer!
- School networks are no longer DIY projects! Don't even think about designing a network yourself. Or entertain the prospect of a "mate" doing it for you cheap. - there will be tears down the track!
Contact a registered cabling contractor and ask for a quote to have network cabling installed in all learning and administration spaces.
Ask for a "staged" quote, so that you can get an overall picture of the whole network plan, but be able complete key sections of the network as funds become available.
Insist that your quote include:
-
construction to your organisation's minimum specifications;
-
a 20 year warranty;
-
a drawn plan of the network;
- test data for all outlets;
- Gigabit links between all buildings.
