Anyone on this list located in Northern NJ? Specifically, the =
Hackensack area? If not, can you recommend anyone?

I have a client there that owns a lot of apartment buildings in the area =
(some are in NYC) and wants to provide high speed access to the tenents. =
By "a lot" I mean that they are mainly high rise buildings with over =
200 apartments in each building. These are fairly new buildings that =
supposedly have network cabling run to each unit, however, I haven't =
been able to verify that yet.

We have been in contact with several ISP's to check on DSL service. =
Cable modems are also being looked at. These are easy to do, but it =
quickly gets expensive because of the need to purchase routers or cable =
modems for each unit. Monthly costs also start to mount when you start =
looking at 100 to 150 subscribers per building. In other words, they =
don't scale well.

I'd like to look at the possibility of bringing in a T1 to each building =
and connecting the tenents via ethernet. There would need to be a DHCP =
server configured with all the settings so that it's plug and play for =
the tenents. There would also need to be a firewall and probably a =
small ethernet switch on each floor. Basically, we would need someone =
local to the area that could physically setup and install the network.

Although price is an issue, it isn't the main factor. We need a =
workable solution that's scalable, reasonably secure, and reliable. I =
need to stress that this is a very important client to me, with lots of =
high profile tenents, so I want to be sure that whatever we propose =
works well.

Please let me know if this looks to be a workable solution. If you can =
do it, if you know someone in the area that can, or if you have other =
options that we haven't thought of, please let me know.

Thanks,
Gary Kliethermes
