Case Project 6-1: 

Planning Fixed-Mobile AccessYou work for a network consulting firm, and you have been assigned to prepare a presentation for the executives of an amusement park company who are concerned about communication costs and session persistence when employees use their company-issued cellular phones. The network at the park includes extensive 802.11-based APs inside buildings, but many outdoor locations at the park have no WLAN coverage. Employees often use cellular phones for voice communi-cations because they are frequently moving around the park. To save costs, the executives are interested in having cellular phones use the WLAN when it is in range. The executives have relatively little training in network technology, so you need to pres-ent the concepts of fixed-mobile convergence and internetworking with external networks in a way that the executives can understand. Prepare a slide presentation and a 5- to 10-minute discussion to address the executive concerns. You also need to address how to modify the WLAN to support fixed-mobile convergence.
