<p>There are ongoing costs as well as one time purchases with any aspect of business. Technology is no different. The pandemic has changed our reliance on certain aspects of tech and as such the costs associated with them has changed.</p>

<p>While you can spend less in some areas, there are areas where spending the money is worth it.</p>

<li>There will always be something to upgrade.</li>
|

<li>SaaS products are generally more convenient than standing up your own infrastructure. However, this locks you into a platform and it's not always easy to leave. O365/ Adobe CC</li>

<p>(Picture) This is a great example of how NOT to improve your churches wifi.</p>
|
|
<p>Wifi is tricky to get right and its only noticed when it isn't working. With a few simple tweaks wifi performance can be greatly improved.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Generally, you don't want an access point to have to reach more than one room over. ~30ft</li>
|
|
<li>This goes hand in hand with too few access points. If the transmit power is too high the signal from an access point can overpower one that may be closer to the device trying to connect.</li>
|
|
<li>In especially dense urban areas there are lots of wifi networks. They all use the same few channels to communicate so selecting one that is not as highly used will allow for easier communication.</li>
|
|
<li>Lots of devices can give off 2.4GHz signals. Or in short, don't put your access point on top of the break room microwave.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Ubiquiti: Sleek, does the job well, user friendly, cost premium, no recurring charges</li>
|
|
<li>TP-Link Omada: Does everything Ubiquiti can just cheaper. Not as user friendly</li>
|
|
<li>The Aruba IAP line is good for 2 or 3 ap deployments where a central controller would be overkill. Going beyond the IAP line is pricy.</li>
|
|
<li>Cloud managed. Industry leader. The price will reflect that.</li>

|
<p>The cloud can offer convenience and easy access to computers way outside of your price range. VPS services like Linode offer cost friendly options to run services in the cloud.</p>
|
|
<p>The cloud is not the be all end all. With the consolidation of resources, the severity of outages grows proportionally. AWS and GCP outages. Facebook and Cloudflare outages last year.</p>

<p>Self hosting is a great option if you want to control your data and services.</p>
