Improving the Network

- Add either a higher speed cable connection, some sort of converted cellular signal, or satellite internet

- Add a local server for storage + high speed connections to the lan

- Add a render farm

- Add a mesh Wifi network

- Add high speed 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit internet to most buildings for connection to the lan + the wan

- Add VoIP and/or Traditional 4P4C Phone to the server + network

- Add further redundancy to the system

- Give Internet + Server Access to all Site Facilities, Even those far away from the main area. This is done either by WiFi dishes, some sort of buried fiber/coaxial cable, or a combination of both

- Utilize the work done by the Free the Network Foundation

- Make the network modular and future-proofed so it can grow with our needs
