Hi,
I work in the nightlife industry and have been given the task of completely redoing the network which connects tills, PDQs, CCTV and other devices to the Internet. At the moment, we have constant problems with parts of the network 'going down' and general unreliability. This obviously isn't great as card sales make up the vast majority of sales in the business, so when the card machines are unable to connect to the Internet, the business loses out.
Currently, the network is a complex mess of switches and routers placed all around the venue. My thought is that the current system has just gotten too complex as routers and switches have just been added on top of each other as the years have gone by, which has led to instability.
My thoughts are to scrap the current infrastructure and start with a brand new mesh network. Is this the best solution? Is there another type of network I should consider? What equipment would be best for this job? We need a solution that will keep our tills, PDQs (card machines), CCTV and other devices (laptops and phones) connected to the Internet reliably. This is not a a public WiFi for customers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)
