Hello all,
My company is moving out of a shared office into our first building as we've out grown the space. Wifi was provided as part of our lease. As the new space requires setting up a network, I've been tasked with building this new network.
I'm a junior network admin, and so far the only experience I have is with Palo Alto and Cisco products. So I'm not sure who offers the best experience for each piece I need.
Company growth wise I need it to support up to 65 users in approximately 4200 sq feet with at least a 5 year life cycle. Currently were 21 people moving into a ~1700 sq ft space. Figuring two wireless devices per user.
I've been allotted $7,250 for the budget.
So far I have:
Firewall / Router : PA-820/850
Switch: Need a 16-24-port PoE model, tempted to go with Cisco here unless Juniper or another vendor has a better product.
Wireless: I really don't know who to go with for this piece. I figure starting off with one-two APs initially and buying additional ones if needed for coverage.
In regards to wireless coverage, what wifi site mapping software and tools are worthwhile? While I probably won't buy any wifi tools it would be nice to know for the future.
Thanks.
