I help a non-profit organisation building a network to help them in their operations. For now I just want to give them access to web traffic and emails, no servers ever.
There is an attached file, this is the plan of the campus, and the blue square is a river.
Actually, only H6 have internet. My plan was to put some wireless access point like in the map and put the router/firewall in the H2 building wich have a locked room and a direct access to the a DSL line.
I dont realy know what to do after, to make it reliable and redundant... Fiber ? Cat6 Cable ? Wireless Bridges ?
If I do fiber, its seems costly and complex running multiple drops (H2 to H3, H2 to H6) plus buying fibers adaptors for the switches. I was thinking prehaps about aerial fiber ?
If I do Cat6, I think the distances are okay but are Cat6 cables are buriable ? Will they resist Canadian winter ?
Wireless bridges give mes concerns about a single point of failiure. If H2 to H3 brige dies, H6 will be offline too...
I am open to consider alternatives solution, I clearly dont know everything
We dont have a lot of money and this is grinding my gears, we will buy our networking equipment from tech soup canada, but I will buy and donate all the wires, firewall (pfSense on a supermicro barebone) and time to this project.
This is an opportunity for me, here to learn some design principes.
