How do I connect my schools to each other and to the Internet?
The same general answer applies for almost every choice of WAN connection technology.
- Routers at each school are connected via some WAN technology to the other routers in the school system
- Schools are on different IP subnets
Internet access (Independent of Chosen WAN technology)
- Usually obtained for the school system by connecting a single location to the Internet with a high-speed connection.
- Other schools in the system can access the Internet by routing through the central location.
- Can be purchased on a school by school basis
- This option can be MUCH more expensive and likely gains little, if anything, in the way of performance.
