We have decided to go with a wireless approach using a 600mw wireless bridge(s) in each building. One bridge goes into the ASA firewall and the others are placed at various points around the building - in offices where they're out of the way - to provide the "bridge" between the distances we need to cover.
We've evaluated each building and found that this will work very well. Cost of the equipment is around $250 per bridge + the estimated $30-$40 for a wireless USB at each administrative computer. These expenses would be shared on a per ward basis so if a particular building required 2 or 3 bridges to cover the areas the total cost would be shared.
One of our facilities requires 3 bridges and another can be covered with only 1 bridge.
After putting all of our costs together we came up with an estimated cost per ward of just under $300 which isn't bad.
Installation is free since one of our bishops has his own business in the installation of wireless internet
