I have been asked to look into setting up a network for a building that will house a number of small companies.
The building is being designed to provide small / start-up businesses with managed office space to help them get going. One of the service we are looking to provide them is a ready to use network and Internet connection.
As I see it at the minute my options are:
1, Provide a separate wired network in each office along with its own Internet connection. (Pros: simple setup. Cons: Inhibets a company exapanding into two or more offices. The cost for internet connection per tenant will be higher)
2, Have a single Internet connection for the building and aim to share that between all the offices in the building through a wired or more preferably wireless network. With each of the companies on there own sub domain.
(Pros: Expansion into a second or third office is no problem. Cost of internet connection will be shared between all tenants. Cons:Much more complex setup)
At present I have the knowhow to go ahead and impliment option 1, however I am interested in investigating option 2.
How would I go about designing and setting up such a system?
