To provide several options on wireless LAN solution, I will compare three different wireless LAN systems of the following three manufacturers. Cisco Systems

D-Link

From the comparison, it is hoped that the best technical solution for the Worldwide Travel Agency will be selected. After this, the establishment of recommendation, in an analytical report, to Mr. Choo shall follow.

Scope

The Worldwide Travel Agency needs a wireless LAN solution to provide its mobile employees with an efficient and convenient way of accessing the company's database system. This solution will not only benefit the mobile employees but all the employees as well. In view of this, this research will cover an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed wireless LAN solution. A comparison to other possible solutions will also be included in the analysis report.

Three wireless LAN systems will be evaluated to provide the Worldwide Travel Agency with the best solution. The three systems are the following.

Cisco Systems

D-Link

The first step in the evaluation of these three systems is to assess the performance and stability based on interoperability, speed, and compatibility. The second step is to perform a cost analysis by comparing these three wireless LAN systems' configurations. The final step is to seek advice from a network consulting agency to discuss issues of a wireless LAN installation.

Sources

Information shall be gathered from different sources. This includes the...

In addition, I will consult from hardware specifications as published by various wireless LAN manufacturers.
Qualifications

My ability to perform an evaluation of network solution that will best fit for the Worldwide Travel Agency comes from my Computer Science education as well as from my previous job experience as an it Technician in a computer consulting firm. My experience in designing web sites, and in creating programs, databases, and network projects, provides me with idea of what network specification can allow a cost-effective and efficient use of networks.

Conclusion

Booking online reservations is among the most important activities in the Worldwide Travel Agency. It is where the company spends most of its time. To allow an efficient service to clients, employees are required to travel from one office to another. However, the current network setup in all offices of the Worldwide Travel Agency is incompetent for its mobile employees' information access. Thus, Mr. Choo, the owner of the company, seeks to enhance the network access in all of Worldwide Travel Agency's offices. The proposed plan is to install wireless LANs in all of the agency's three business locations. With your approval, I will analyze how wireless LAN system is a network solution that fits the company. Information based from the findings of this research shall be submitted to you and to my client, Mr. Choo, by August 21, 2004.
