CLIENT SITUATION (1)

V-Australia decided to expand their business by converting an unused warehouse into a Student Training Facility. The

warehouse is located approximately 150 meters from their Head Office.

Before this expansion project could go ahead however, the Directors imposed a number of rules and requirements to

insure that V-Australia would maintain it’s profitability and avoid any additional overheads.

The requirements were as follows:

· All internet, email, VoIP and other ICT required at the new Student Training Facility were to be drawn from the Head Office · Access to the network at the new site will be delivered by Wireless LAN · The WLAN must use the latest Wi-Fi standards & security and have at least five

fixed / wired LAN connection points as a backup to the WLAN.Equipment & Technical Support for this Project Provided by
