=Plan=
In order to focus on good service and user experience, will plan to first deploy a "bootstrapped" wireless network, then plan and coordinate a proper wired network.
 
==Phase 1: Bootstrapped Wireless Network==
In this phase, the focus will be on wireless network service with one powerful wireless router, set up wherever the internet connection is. We'll extend the network by using wireless repeaters that have ethernet interfaces. We'll be able to take the broadcast network from the primary router, repeat it to other parts of the building with these repeaters, and ultimately connect switches to the repeaters' ethernet interfaces to extend the network throughout the building.
 
===Wishlist===
* 1 - Really powerful wireless router
* ~10 - Wireless Access Points (APs)
* ~5 - Low-power Switches
 
==Phase 2: Proper Wired Network==
As soon as a basically functioning and stable bootstrapped wireless network is deployed, we will begin the next phase, deploying a proper wired network for the whole building. The emphasis will be on modularity, reliability, maintainability, quality materials, and forward-thinking design of the network that will definitively meet the practical needs of the building by providing ubiquitous network connectivity.
 
Once this network is functional, we'll simply add wireless access points to replace the bootstrapped wireless network.
