3. A. Datum Corporation is planning to implement a wireless network to enable certain employees to connect their laptops to the corporate network. Additionally, they would like to enable visitors to connect their laptops to a restricted network that provides Internet access only. Objectives Create an implementation plan for a wireless network. Troubleshoot issues arising from the wireless deployment plan. Configure a wireless network policy.

Task 1: implementation plan for a wireless network.

Holly Dickson is the IT manager at A. Datum, and you have been working with her on the wireless
networking project. Holly wants you to determine what you need to enable wireless access for employees
and visitors. The A. Datum offices take up the entirety of a small building that spans two floors, with the
employees mainly confined to the upper floor. The ground floor provides conferencing facilities and a
reception area. Holly has produced the A. Datum Wireless Network Requirements document. You must
consider each requirement, and then make a corresponding proposal that indicates how you will meet
that requirement.

Requirements Overview

I want to deploy wireless networks throughout the London offices.
Security is critical, and we must deploy the strongest security measures available.
Some of our older computer equipment supports earlier wireless standards only.
Cordless telephones are in use in some parts of the building.
We are located in a busy trading district, with other commercial organizations located nearby. Again, it
is important that our network is not compromised.
