Objective: Design a network proposal to support the given business requirements and operations Page 2 of 2 Project Specific Information: Ava is the process of planning and establishing 3 different types of businesses/companies:
1. Telecommunications company which provides the Internet service/connection as well as wired communications for a group of businesses, 30+, located in a 10-mile-radius business corridor. The estimated number of users (employees of these businesses) is 3,000, with a 2% annual growth rate.
2. Online wholesale for communication devices. This company's headquarter is located in the above mentioned business corridor.
3. Bookkeeping company which will have 4 different divisions around the county. Each division is expected to have 10 to 15 employees. A remote data center will be established and located in the above mentioned business corridor. Ava has received a briefing on the data transmission services that are currently available on the market and has VDSL or similar/better service in mind, because she foresees that her businesses will need high data transmission rates and will heavily/frequently utilize VoIP applications.
You are tasked:
A. To prepare a network design proposal for implementing all the networks necessary to support Ava's business needs.
B. To create a PowerPoint file to present your proposed design to Ava.
