QUESTION 1
The new distribution centre is located in an industrial area and about 12 kms from the company’s headquarters. 12 kms is approximality 7.45645 miles. Unfortunately, the cables has not reached this area, and given the numerous obstacles to digging, it would be prohibitively expensive to install. The only choice left here is to use the wireless technology. But what form of wireless signal would we use? The wireless signal would have to go through walls (eliminating infrared), be able to traverse approximately 12kms (eliminate Bluetooth, Wireless Lans, Ultra-wideband, again infrared and ZigBee) and be able to carry a high-speed signal (again eliminate Bluetooth and ZigBee). for obvious reasons, microwave, satellite and WiMAX are

QUESTION 2
Advantages
. Both T-1 and Sonet (synchronous optical networks) connection Waste of bandwidth
. Single station can serve hundreds of users in WiMAX. In T-1 and Sonet each single station represent one user.
Disadvantages
. Multiplied frequencies are used T-1 and Sonet do not use multiple frequencies
. WiMAX is very power intensive technology and requires strong electrical support
Some of the benefits of WiMAX compared to T3 over SONET connection are that a single WiMAX station can serve hundreds of users, it has a much faster deployment of new users comparing to wired networks, and it can reach a speed of 10 Mbps at 10 kilometers with line-of-site customers. It also supports Non line of Sight customers; it is standardized, and same frequency equipment should work together and it has short delay. Drawbacks of WiMAX are that weather conditions like rain could interrupt the signal; other wireless equipment could cause interference, multiplied frequencies are used, WiMAX is a very power intensive technology and requires strong electrical support, and it has high installation and operational costs.
QUESTION 3
The equipment needed to install WiMAX includes the Wimax base station, which consists of indoor Wimax equipments and a wimax tower. The
1.) According to Lao-tzu, what must the ruler provide the people with if they are to be happy?
The devices that need to connect are workstations, wireless access points, security cameras, servers, phones and printers, with enough available bandwidth between buildings and devices. The wireless network itself will be able to handle multiple devices and there needs to be enough coverage throughout the campus, including the outdoors. Separate wireless network will need to be establish to ensure that guest traffic does not affect church network traffic.
1. Beverly Frost bought a home for $190,000 with a down payment of $19,000 at 7% for 25 years. Since then the rate has risen to 9%. How much more would her monthly payment be if she bought the house at 9%?
1. Thanks to Wi-Fi technology, this devices can connect wirelessly and seamlessly to one’s existing broadband connection in seconds.
Thus the speed and reliability can be improve by judging the number of antennas. In the aspect of data rate, Option 1 has the highest transfer rate comparing to routers that has single-band capabilities. This indicates that Option 1 is able to perform better by transferring 600Mb data per second, 150 Mb more than other routers. Option 1 is strongly recommended as it is more affordable in prices with comparably better performance. Furthermore, Option 1 is equipped with various wireless LAN standard that provides faster and reliable wireless signals. It uses either 2.4GHz (single band) or 5GHz (dual band) band of frequencies in which wireless communications operate. Demands of dual band arise when there are intensive work within a LAN network and provides better internal network performance due to less interference (Lynn,
This is a direct extension of the 802.11b that extends the maximum data rate to 54Mbps, making it possible to serve up to five times as many users. Our Wi-Fi network is based on the IEEE 802.11 b/g standards, which is the most commonly used standard. We have added Wi-Fi access points in our network to give easier access to corporate data and services. Most of the devices in this network, for example the personal computers, smartphones, digital cameras, tablets and digital audio players connected using the Wi-Fi technology. The hotspot will be in the range of 20 meters (66 feet) indoors and a greater range outside.
Each site slated for secure indoor wireless had a site survey done. The site survey method was top-down with the roof as the starting point. As with most site surveys the locations for equipment was identified and the cabling pathways were determined. In addition, a wireless survey was performed to identify possible sources of interference and find best install sites for AP’s. This was performed using wireless analysis tools to get the best installation places.
WiMAX can transmit speeds up to 50km at 280mbps, and provides options for use in point to point and multipoint configurations.
Study Questions: Answer the following questions (based on the reading), save it and then submit it to the professor.
Wireless DSL is a type of fixed wireless which requires a line of sight between communicating transmitters. Unfortunately; this makes its application limited, because in order to be effective, it requires tall buildings or towers. Most multitenant buildings such as hotels, remote office buildings and apartments use this. Transmitters are what connect the building to the ISP, and the DSL used inside the building connects to the wireless transceiver. Fixed wireless can be point to point or multipoint. Satellite is another form of fixed wireless. Both the point-to-point and multipoint versions have data transmissions ranging from 1.5 to 54 Mbps, dependent on the vendor. Mobile wireless service can be set up by the provider in a package one the WAP network protocol is fixed to support it. (Wireless Application Environment) (Fitzgerald, 349-350).
Main Building – will require 7 computer stations with the most recent version of Operating System to ensure compatibility and networking capabilities between each stations and the ability to communicate between the two locations. They will require three servers, one for web hosting, one for database management and one for emergency failure of any one server. These stations should be networked to communicate with one another for proper data connection especially in the event of any one computer station crashing. Each work station will need to be linked to each server for web hosting and data backup. The cabling used for inside the main building should be 100Base TX cat 5 UTP, for Wi-Fi and WLAN with guest access that is highly secure and reliable, we recommend a device that is capable of supporting up to 15 different users with 450 Mbps. There needs to be 4 printer services in this building. Printer 1 should have
Just goes to show how things can escalate very quickly and this isn't the only incident that MHS has seen.
It’s very important to determine the device and application requirements based on bandwidth, protocols and frequency. In wireless network, bandwidth, protocols and sometime environmental conditions affect the speed of the channel so we need to calculate the aggregate throughputs before designing the network. Today, users carry Wi-Fi devices such as notebooks, laptops, tablets and Smartphone’s so total throughput must be calculated by estimating number of connections rather than the number of the seats. Some common wireless networking standards such as 802.11a/b/g/n invented in the IEEE association must be supported by wireless network. For better performance and for faster devices (802.11n devices), dual-ratio access points should be deployed. Table1 [3] illustrate the different IEEE standards and throughput.
A wireless network is any type of computer network that uses wireless data connections for connecting network nodes .Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business).Installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure.
