w10a1 - Term Paper - Wireless Deployment Plan
Summary
Your term paper, Wireless Deployment Plan, is due this week.
You've done great work this quarter. Finish strong! Don't forget to ask for any help you may need!
Click the linked activity title to access this assignment.
Text
This assignment consists of three sections: a written wireless development plan, a graphically depicted wireless network architecture, and a wireless
project implementation plan created through the use of MS Project. You must submit the three sections as separate files for the completion of this
assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for.
The use of specific software has been suggested; however, equivalents including but not limited to OpenOffice and Dia are also permitted. If equivalent
tools are used, files must be saved and submitted for grading using extensions that are readable by their equivalent Microsoft Windows edition.
Assignment submissions that fail to follow this request may result in a reduced grade.
Any network or information system deployment must be carefully and thoroughly planned and implemented. Failures to thoroughly plan the implementation
of wireless networks have led to many project failures due to lack of support, technical issues, and security issues. During this course, you have covered
many wireless support topics, technical considerations and issues, and security considerations and issues.
Section 1: Wireless Deployment Plan
Required Format (MS Word File).
1. Write a 6–8 page wireless deployment plan for an education institution with a single campus but with multiple buildings on that campus. The wireless
deployment plan must include, but is not limited to, the following items:
Wireless deployment plan overview.
Purpose and scope.
Wireless network equipment and devices.
Wireless network device configuration.
Wireless client configuration and access.
Wireless network staffing, training, and support requirements.
Wireless network security requirements.
Terms and definitions.
2. Use at least four quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-
hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Section 2: Wireless Network Architecture
Required Format (MS Visio or equivalent):
3. Use Microsoft Visio or an open-source alternative, such as Dia, to develop a network architecture diagram depicting the wireless networking equipment,
security devices, and architecture for the corporate wireless network.
Section 3: Wireless Project Implementation Plan
Required Format (MS Project or equivalent):
4. Use MS Project or an open-source alternative, such as Open Project, to develop a project plan depicting the project tasks, task durations,
predecessors, and resources needed to implement the wireless network.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are as follows:
Develop a comprehensive wireless deployment plan, network architecture diagram, and project implementation plan for an assigned industry,
including technical and security considerations, staffing, equipment, duration, and resources.
