%X The deployment of stable and reliable IT infrastructure at Bhutanese institutes has been challenging due to mountainous and uneven terrain, economic considerations, lack of skilled expertise, and the physical design of buildings. Sherubtse College also faces the additional challenge that its infrastructure has to expand to keep pace with the physical and demographic growth of the college, though the architectural layouts of new construction were initially planned without IT network deployment under consideration. We demonstrate here a standard method of incorporating more wireless segments into the network to overcome some of these challenges. Using standard office equipment, wireless bridges and access points were deployed that could overcome distance limitations and preclude the need for laying additional cabling, at a fraction of the cost of professional setups.
