Hi Guys, Actually this is a similar situation back 2003 when I first started out my campus-backbone-network project.
After researching and hours of talking to some of my friends, it yielded me 3 options 1. Wireless 2. Fiber 3. CAT5 Wireless Wow high tech! This was my first choice pero di naging maganda ung feedback sa akin ng speed, signal strenght, obstacles tapos meron pang antenna issue. Pero sa cost okay very affordable. Costing : Php 20k Fiber Speed demon, pero cost is for corporate type na. Costing : Php 600k. CAT5 Very practical. PVC pipes and fittings. Konting help lang sa mga construction boy and alaktrisyan pwede na. Costing : Php 10k The clear choice in the end CAT5. Here's what we did. Farthest point is 500m from the main switch so we used 5 8port switch scattered sa mga key areas every 90m. BTW these key areas acts as branches na rin for the offices (damay na sila sa network). AND I've doubled the ethenet cable para merong redundant line just in case magkaroon ng problem (so far okay ung main line pa rin ang gamit). Part of the pipes ay nakalubog sa ilalim ng lupa, some are just on the side ng building. AND we made special boxes, water proof for the switches. If you need help or meron kang alinlangan sa CAT5 just post it here. GO! GO!
