Wireless Communication Channels Kaplan University Assignment: Wired and Wireless Communication Channels Rudy Chavez February 19, 2013 Course: IT 331 Technology Infrastructure Instructor: Prof. James 1. You have been asked to design a LAN with operation over a distance of about 100m. Compare and contrast twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, fiber-optics, and wireless for this application. You should create a table or flow chart which would facilitate choosing between these options depending

connected to a hub are considered to be part of the same broadcast domain. In other words, any frame transmitted by one of the nodes will be received by all the rest. This configuration can limit throughput, as all nodes must share the capacity of the LAN. Since switches forward frames only on a single line, they create multiple broadcast domains, leading to great gains in throughput. The throughput of a switch is restricted, however, by its processing speed, the speed at which it can forward frames

Hospital LAN Initial Evaluation NIT 362 Explain the network’s fundamental characteristics and components. The Hospital’s Local Area Network (LAN) consists of two distinct network segments: Clinical and Admnistrative networks and are connected via bridge. The Administrative uses an ethernet backbone that is 1000BaseT using CAT 6 cable while the backbone for branches from each department run on 1000BaseF using single-mode fiber. Each

office that routes traffic either to the internet or between offices and acts as the firewall between LAN and WAN. This device also enables VPN tunnels for telecommuters (Implementation Consultants) to connect to the office as necessary. In both the current and proposed network; the logical typology is a star as describe below: Logical topology: Star (switched Ethernet) This is because the design is a switched based Ethernet approach. The switch at the centre

latest IEEE 802 series of standards. In keeping with these standards NCIF has installed and configured a Local Area Network (LAN) using the IEEE 802.3 Series of standards and a Wireless LAN (WLAN) using the IEEE 802.11 Series of standards. NCIF’s network architecture consists of a client-server configured Local Area Network (LAN) based on a Gigabit Ethernet Star Topology or 1000 Base-X IEEE 802.3 Standard with Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) and a Storage Area Network

as a foundation for the study of computer networking technologies. Concepts in data communications, such as signaling, coding and decoding, multiplexing, circuit switching and packet switching, OSI and TCP/IP models, LAN/WAN protocols, network devices and their functions, topologies and capabilities are discussed. Industry standards and the development of networking technologies are surveyed in conjunction with a basic awareness of software and hardware components used in typical networking and internetworking
