Background
This playbook explains the installation of a mesh network at a property with seven 2-story buildings that contain 55 apartments; (32) 1-bedroom, (20) 2-bedroom and (3) 3-bedroom. For this pilot project, Fresno Housing chose not to charge the residents to use the mesh network.
Recommendation
Before starting your mesh network project, decide internally on such items as
- Structure
- Web Filtering
- What does success look like?
- Performance Reporting Requirements (# of users, data usage, etc.)
Important
It is highly recommended that you consult the leadership at your ISP before starting a mesh network project as company policy might prohibit using the ISP circuit for a mesh network.
In this playbook, we made a few assumptions that may vary in your area. The biggest assumption is the availability of an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The ISP plays a pivotal role in your mesh network. Not only must the ISP be able to deliver appropriate amount of bandwidth to your site, they must agree to redistribution of their signal.
