INTRODUCTION

Wireless networks are becoming faster, more affordable and easier to adopt than ever. Growing
small businesses that have adopted a wireless solution are already reporting immediate paybacks
in higher productivity, flexible application mobility and greater worker satisfaction. A wireless
infrastructure can make it easier to reconfigure the office space as the company grows and
changes. Also, the total cost of a wireless local area network (WLAN) is relatively inexpensive
as it has becoming very affordable nowadays.

SCENARIO

You have been appointed as a network consultant to deploy a wireless LAN in a SOHO (Small
Office/Home Office) environment that houses 10 to 20 employees. The wireless LAN is intended
to be used to access the Internet as well as for software such as word processors and spreadsheet.
The first thing to do in designing a wireless LAN (WLAN) is to conduct a wireless site survey
and gather the fundamental requirements and considerations for deploying wireless LAN.
According to SONICWALL (2019), the ultimate goal of a wireless site survey is to determine if
there are any external radio interferences which causing problems and also to minimize the
number of Wireless Access Point needed and where to optimally place it for best coverage.

You need to visit the company premise (or small office home office - SOHO) to conduct wireless
site survey using appropriate tools and techniques. Refer to industry standard specified by
Certified Wireless Networking Professional (CWNP) for the factors addressing wireless LAN
site survey. In addition, you also need to produce technical report that document findings of the
wireless LAN site survey (with evidences).

Based on the findings from the wireless site survey, propose WLAN Infrastructure design for an
enterprise network and draw the infrastructure design using appropriate tool. Justify the WLAN
hardware and software requirements for the WLAN infrastructure deployment.

ASSIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS

1. You are required to work as an individual network consultant.

2. The report should be typed and well presented. Submission of reports that are unprofessional
in its outlook (dirty, disorganized, inconsistent look, varying colored paper and size) will not
fare well when marks are allocated.

3. Ensure that the report is printed on standard A4 (210 X 297 mm) sized paper. Paper weight
of 80 grams and above is highly recommended.

4. The report should have a one (1”) margin all around the page as illustrated below:
