My Boss wants to sell our next door building a wireless connection so they can use our T1 line.
We have a Cisco 1600 router and small switch right now.
We are going to use the Cisco Aironet 350 point-to-point wireless kit

I want to add a Catalyst 2900 switch so we can setup 2 or 3 vlans to keep our data separate.
1 vlan for internet
1 vlan for our network
1 vlan for their network.

How much setup would be involved in doing this, and would I need any more hardware?
 
Can't do it with that gear.. You need a 1721 that support VLAN'ing, a router with multiple ethernet interfaces or you need a layer 3 switch to do the VLAN routing...

That company probably won't want you to have access to their traffic, I know I wouldn't. I've done similar things and had 1 vlan for my internal traffic, 2 vlans for internet feed with custom queuing at the router. What they do with their internet is their business.

BuckWeet is absolutely correct the 1600 series doesn't support vlans.

So I need a 1721 router, then add a WIC-1DSU-T1 Card and a WIC-1ENET card to enable vlans?
 
Yea, that would work well. You won't even need to employ vlans. If you're 1600 has 2 eths then you don't need anything.

Add ACLs preventing traffic between subnets A & B and you're done. ----------------------------------------
