Case Project 1
Using wireless technology the company will benefit financially and will have an increase in productivity of its employees because there is no need to maintain and/or use wired stations (computers, printers, etc.) By this means all buildings will only have a several wireless routers which will most likely cover the whole building. Present wireless standards and types of connections can cover long distances and have faster speeds than wired connections do. Also the company employees will have an access to the company’s network from almost any location inside & outside the company’s building within the access point’s (router) configured signal range. This way the productivity of the company’s employees will increase. Warehouse employees will have the best use of the company’s wireless connection, for example in case of inventory and/or shipping and receiving products, of course this will mean that all of the warehouse employees have some sort of wireless device on hands. All company employees will benefit from wireless networking in case of communicating with each other and/or having access to the company’s network from anywhere within the company’s wireless signal range.

Case Project 2
First step in planning the pilot network will be determining how many access points the distribution facility will need, to cover most of its area. Also we will need to determine what type of wireless protocol will be the most efficient to cover the area without leaving any dead zones allowing all existing equipment (devices and printers) to use that protocol without being upgraded. Best bet will be to use standard 802.11b/g that is being used by most of the present devices. A theoretical coverage indoors
