Description of support work: Hi,
I have been tasked with setting up a new network system.
I'm an electronics engineer, not a network engineer :) and I'm looking for remote advice and guidance in the design, purchase and setup of our network solution.
I am UK based but the solution will be implemented in the US. - We need the consultant/individual to be either UK or USA based.
No equipment has yet been bought. The budget is OK but not unlimited, I don't have any hard preferences on equipment suppliers but would like to stick to known (well supported) names, For example: Netgear
We need to start purchasing the network hardware within the next week or so.
The individual mini networks are simple. However since each network will have its own router (assigning IP etc.) and external network connections, wireless point-to-point links etc.; I am unfamiliar with how to link the networks together without getting conflicts between the routers. I don't know but I suspect the solution will involve VPNs.
I require someone to advise on the required hardware and how to set them up, leaving us with a simple but robust set of networks. On site support is unlikely. A complex, hard to manage solution is my worse fear! Since I'll be the man on the ground. :)
Overview
Imagine 2 mobile offices built inside trucks. Each office will have or require;
>A maximum of 12 laptops in each location
>A NAS drive. 1Tb min.
>Several external network sources, (4 max). I hope most will be hardwired but one is expected to be made available over a local wireless network. Each network supplying different steams of engineering data.
>Internet connection, I don't know what will be provided so I may end up needing to use a 4G connection.
>A VOIP intercom system. I am still confirming which VOIP Intercom system we will use.
>Wireless Point-toPoint link to other office. Minimum speed 100mbit, prefer 480mbit. Range under 250M. Electrically noisy environment with a lot of RF transmitters in the vicinity. No hardware has yet been selected but I have good experience with products from Ubiquity.
These two offices should be capable of being completely independent networks but will also, often, be linked together using the point-to-point wireless link.
This wireless link will be used for exchange of Data. Access to each others NAS may be sufficient. VOIP and some form of LAN messaging services will also be implemented. This link could potentially be broken at any time or link may just become intermittent.
There will also be a third office with similar facilities but that office will not be linked to the others due to its location.
I would like to avoid having to setting static IPs on laptops, since guest engineers will arrive and depart regularly.
I hope the above description is sufficient, please ask any questions.
Regards, John.
