Telecommunication Network Action Plans

Network and Asset Recovery Issues Part 1 Network Cabling The issues at The Sunshine Health Corporation are deep and profound as they will require a strategic approach that addresses the problems at their core and provide real and practical solutions to the rather difficult environment. This document is action plans that addresses the old wiring issues the building has, laying new fiber cable where necessary, and presents the idea of developing wireless LANs, and Wi-Fi capability throughout the facility.

The plan is intended to be effective, efficient and economical and deliver real and sustainable cost savings in the long-term. Understanding the Environment The first and most prescient issue dealing with this case is the identification of what the building possesses and what if any of the old wiring and cabling can be salvaged. The more that is known about the content of the wiring structure, which was left in somewhat disrepair, the more the plan can be developed in a detailed manner.

Regardless of what the building has, it is also essential to understand what the building needs in order to reach the objectives and goals that include total intranet and internet wireless capability for a 200,000 square feet warehouse. The first step must include identifying the problem and dealing with it in the most direct manner. Step 2: Identifying the Needs Since the content of the wiring is unknown it makes logical sense to determine the cabling needs for the building as it is envisioned in the future.

Using a site technician or an outside consultant may be prudent in this manner. This need can be addressed as other aspects of the plan are worked out simultaneously. What is most important is focusing on the value of the needs for managing a project. Tohidi (2011) supported this idea when he wrote "Nowadays with the advent of global and highly competitive markets, project managers are paying serious attention to providing valuable products to customers with the lowest fees.

This vision has brought success and the competition has led the manufacturers to provide quality goods, in order to maintain their authority in the field.

Since consumers are also always looking for quality and affordable goods and services and products are provided in hot competition fields, in addition to improving the quality of services and products, continuous improvement and how to use the methods to balance between the cost and the applications of a product play a fundamental role, and is one of the most important factors of economic development." Step 3: Budgeting Site Technician Consultant: $2,500 Cabling: $23,000 Wiring: $45,000 Labor $80,000 Networking Equipment: $35,000 Hardware: $33,000 Software: $12,000 Misc: $18,000/ Total: $271,000. Budget $325,000.

Step 4 Determining Cost Savings Due to the lack of explicit knowledge regarding the actual components of the wiring and cabling it is very challenging to predict an exact cost savings plan. The aforementioned budget is a presentation of what is known at the present moment and could adjust in one manner or another. What is important is that there is an action plan in place that can identify a starting point to determine the overall potential of this building and its ability to function at its new intended purposes.

Part 2 Asset Recovery When performing asset recovery operations within an organization it is essential for many reasons to have the security and privacy of the issue at hand be held in high respect. The wiping clean of hard drives was an important first step in the recovery process and more logistical matters can be addressed with a sense of security and freedom. The EPA also supports these efforts. They report on their website "recycling one million laptops saves the energy equivalent to the electricity used by more than 3,500 U.S.

homes in a year. For every million cell phones we recycle, 35 thousand pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold and 33 pounds of palladium can be recovered. Electronic products are made from valuable resources and materials, including metals, plastics, and glass, all of which require energy to mine and manufacture.

Donating or recycling consumer electronics conserves our natural resources and avoids air and water pollution, as well as greenhouse gas emissions that are caused by manufacturing virgin materials." To determine what is still usable at the Sunshine Health Corporation, it is necessary to take a careful inventory of what remains and classify that material to determine its ultimate destination. For a project of this scale it is necessary to construct four categories of classification.

They are as follows: Class I: Trash Class II: Donate To Charity Class III: Needs Repair Class IV: In working order, available for future use. The first step in recovering these assets requires a labeling process to determine the correct classification. This labeling will be performed room by room as this is the best way to organize a project of this size. Each room will be assessed for its technology equipment and labeled according to the four fold model presented earlier.

This labeling could be assisted by assigning a color code to the label. The next step of this asset recovery effort requires each classification of equipment to be dealt with in an appropriate manner. In the instances where different components that are still connected have not been disconnected and separated for processing this should be done prior to the room by room labeling. Each classification of material will be dealt with in the following manner: Class I: EPA approved trash cans will come and collect all trash.

This equipment will be disposed of in accordance with Federal and State regulations regarding the issue. Class.
