Designing a Wireless Network for Roaming Team Members
Thomas Jefferson Community College uses a team approach for managing the financial resources of the college. The team members primarily work in the administration building which houses the president's office, human resources,payroll, accounting, development, and the main IT office. Each area uses teams and team members who are often mobile, going between work areas. For example,the payroll supervisor is on both the payroll team and the human resources team. She also often attends meetings in the accounting area and serves as a back up accounting supervisor. In another example, the IT manager of applications development spends equal amounts of time in the president's, human resources, payroll, accounting, development, and IT areas. Currently it is difficult for any team member to access networked computer resources when they are not in their office. How might you design a wireless networking alternative for this environment?
