better or arranging a working bee to dig a trench 300mm deep run some conduit and cable in the conduit
Hi People, I have no idea if this is possible but thought someone may have an inkling.
The story
Our local school has a building which is about 60 metres away from the main school lot and doesn't have any access to lan facilities. Wireless is considered too unsafe because teachers need to access student records etc. Even wireless point to point is out.
I had this really interesting idea about asking Telstra to run a network cable through their cable pits. Any thoughts on the matter ? Where would I start to ask someone ?

dont say linux if i wanted it id install it
That might well be what has to happen, trouble is it has to go past about 3 houses which might cause some consternation
get the school to look at the stimulus funding available for improvement works the government just advertised then as they may be able to get it done through that and the council etc will deal with the other property owners

Unfortunately not covered under those funds so the P&C and school themselves have to foot the bill
Telstra doesn't allow any private cabling to share it's infrastructure, so you'll have to get council permits etc to install cabling in your own trench.
just organise a couple of white vans some high vis vests one person that knows what they're doing and a couple more that can pretend to look like they know what they're doing and follow instructions and put some fibre in. Everyone will think you're just telstra subbies and won't blink an eyelid.

at my school, there is roughly 100 meters from the admin server to the lowerschool admin building, and its all fiber...
there is absolutly no wireless for any admin, only hard wired. teachers have wireless, but none of the admin staff
wireless can be damn secure these days, use WPA to encrypt the data transmitted and run a VPN point to point also with encryption. Place Access points in Bridge to Bridge mode and just for the hell of it have MAC filtering.
So you have 2 x encryption, and only the 2 access points in the network are allowed to associate with each aother.
Even do it at 5.8GHz, not yet that populated.
Telstra will let you use their pits only if you buy the product that they sell to suit your circumstance. Other option is as per whats been already said put a pair of Cisco or similar outdoor wireless routers at the 2 sites and run WPA/WPA2 encryption and VPN between the 2 sites.
Or expensive solution is microwave between 2 sites.
