Network + I Assignment Module 3

You have been contracted to install a wireless network for a startup company. The facility open office space is 200ft long by 120ft wide. The company is expects to start with 50 nodes and would like to plan for future expansion up to 75 nodes.
After an inspection of the facility it is determined there are no solid or electrical interferences in the facility.
As part of your proposal you will need to determine the number and placement of Wireless Access Points (WAPs) and their Channel and SSID setup.  Also, provide information on any pitfalls, including any environmental issues that should be avoided to preserve the best connectivity, and the Wireless Standard you will recommend, and why.

Concerns	Answer
WAP placement	The center of a large area would be ideal for wireless access in an ideal situation depending on the distance to the clients.
WAP Quantity	Using a single WAP we can avoid issues of different SSID and interference in our service area.
Interference	Bluetooth devices and cordless phones operate on frequencies that could potentially disrupt network connectivity.
Channels	We can use channel 1. Or 6 or 11. So i'll just say 1 for now.
SSID	Since there is no instruction in regards to SSID we will not broadcast the SSID and train individuals on network access on a need to know basis.
Wireless standard to be used and why	The 802.11n wireless standard has the best coverage per WAP and is suitable for the coverage of the entire area as well as the highest data throughput speed which is essential for providing network access and connectivity to so many nodes.
