Outdoor Camp WiFi Network Setup - IT support
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I’m looking for a hands-on network technician who can take charge of every stage of our camp-wide connectivity: from the first walkthrough to the final site dismount. The work happens entirely in an outdoor site/camp environment, so you’ll need to be comfortable moving between containers, masts, and rough terrain while keeping cables tidy and hardware protected.
The immediate priority is expanding and fine-tuning WiFi coverage. We have not locked in any specific access-point brand yet, so I’ll rely on your recommendations for rugged, field-proven models that integrate cleanly with standard switches and routers.
Scope of work
• Conduct physical site surveys to map optimal equipment locations and check existing material placement.
• Install, align, and commission new WiFi access points, then validate signal strength and roaming performance across the camp.
• Add or replace switches, routers, and any required RJ45 runs; terminate, label, and test every port.
• Lay and splice optical fiber where high-bandwidth backhaul is needed.
• Implement the planned network topology, ensuring VLAN, PoE, and radio configurations match the design sheet.
• Mount APs securely, establish stable radio links, and document frequencies/channel plans to avoid interference.
• Provide PRC support and any needed implementation updates during the project lifecycle.
• When the mission ends, dismantle and pack down all network gear safely for redeployment.
Deliverables will be accepted once the camp shows full WiFi coverage with no blind spots, all wired drops pass throughput tests, and the network diagram and configuration backups are handed over.
If you’ve rolled out outdoor WiFi before and can travel to site on short notice, let’s talk timelines and your recommended hardware stack.
