Learning Team: South Dakota Network Development Presentation

Develop a 12- to 14-slide proposal presentation in which you present your solutions to the South Dakota Network dilemma. The presentation should include the following:

• Develop a logical and physical network for the South Dakota Campus.  
• Explain the learning team's recommendations to design the network.
• Calculate the cost of the network design.
• Explain the implementation process and timeline.
• The budget for this project is 50,000 for network design, devices and cabling. 
• The projected student enrollment is 1,500 in class each night (consider choke points.)
• There are 45 full-time employees at the campus. Consider network security requirements between employee access and the student population.
