Memo 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Anita,

In matters of installing an LAN, availability, integrity, reliability, and safety are important. Above all its maintenance and associated costs have to be determined. As such, the concern of the workforce is thus genuine and it is good that you have considered consulting on the matter. Thus, before accepting the provision by Viola Fuss, it is best to understand the provisions which are these now and what each offers. I understand that you are asking for the best cabling options that can be used in your firm Wireless LANs and that is supplemented with the interest in transforming from current cabling infrastructure to a modern one.

Recommendation

Anita should consider employing the following option in improving transmissions within its networks.

1. The unshielded Twisted Pair Connector

2. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP).

3. Wireless Network.

From the three alternatives, it is recommendable that you consider the first option of cabling the LAN as unshielded for its reliability diverse supply of services and speed. The second option should then be the shielded option due to its diverse coverage which it can afford you. Ultimately, the option which is latest in the discussion is the wireless network cabling for it is free from external damage and it is now trending and might last for w awhile in the LAN. Besides, it is a fragmented model that bears high frequency radio signals that are needed in the future business world (Osahon & Emmanuel, 2013).If the building is prone to interferences, this is the best option of cabling or it does not attract interference from the natural environment and it permits voice communication.

Background

Considering the first option, I would suggest that the firm connects a wireless LAN given that it uses high frequency radio signals, lasers or infrared light beams while enhancing communication between the hubs, servers or workstations. Through this cabling option, each file server and workstation some sort of antenna/transceiver both send and receive data.

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables are widely used as telephone wires and Ethernet cables in the computer and telecommunication industry. Through this option, conductors that form a single circuit are usually twisted around each other in order to cancel out electromagnetic interference from external sources (West Penn Wire, n.d.). Generally, UTP would help to increase reliability, speed, enhance diversity and even help in the introduction of new services.

Shielded Twisted Pair

This provides a sharp and clean sound through improved signal integrity. Though this option is similar UTP, it contains an additional foil wrapping to help shield the cable signals from being interfered with. Besides, despite being more expensive than UTP, STP is capable of supporting higher transmission rates across long distances.STP is also recommendable because of sing Ethernet networks that make is specifically fast-data model with additional diverse covering of grounding practices, frequency, distance from the shield to the noise source, thickness, shield discontinuity, and type of electromagnetic noise field. During installation consider using the foil-twisted pair cables which are both affordable and easy to install.
