Create a summary and presentation to deliver to the staff of a medical client about WLANs 

  Assignment 1 Case Study 

 You  are employed by The Baypoint Group (TBG), a company of 50 consultants  that assists organizations and businesses with issues involving network  planning, design, implementation,and problem solving. You have recently  been hired by TBG to work with one of their new clients, Vincent Medical  Center (VMC), a large health care facility, concerning their wireless  needs.  

Each  day, VMC doctors and nurses throughout the facility attend to thousands  of patients, update medical records, issue prescriptions, and order  medical exams. VMC deployed a sophisticated suite of medical software  that stores all patient records, exam results, and diagnoses. The system  is also fully integrated with VMC's pharmacy and can process purchase  orders,payments,and receipts as well as inventory and shipments.  However,all data entry and processing currently requires that a staff  member be at a nursing station or office to access the application and  central VMC database.

1.  VMC is interested in learning about the possibilities of upgrading all  of its infrastructure and deploying a wireless network to allow doctors,  nurses, and all staff to access information from anywhere within the  entire medical facility (two buildings). VMC does not want to spend  money installing additional network cabling connections to every patient  room. VMC has asked you to make a presentation to its administrator  regarding the use of a WLAN.
