Hi everyone,
I've been tasked with linking our new industrial unit to our old one. The sites are opposite each other on a road about 50 meters apart.
The landlord has declined to let us dig up the road and lay a bit of fiber.
Our research and development team will be in one unit and our domain controller and development servers will all be in the new unit (there is an nicer server room in the new unit).
My MD has suggested using a Ubiquity NanoBridge to join the buildings together. This does seem like a good solution but I'm a bit wary of wireless links from past experience.
There will be about 20 users in the old building and looking at average usage I think most people need a steady 100kbps so 2Mbps which leaves a generous slack for bursty things.
Does this sound reasonable? I'd love to suggest a local DC and network storage in the old building as well but I'd have to make a business case for it and I'm not certain it would be necessary.
Thanks for any comments at all
