1. General Hospital – GH has five floors, eachabout 30,000 square feet in size for a total of 150,000 squarefeet. They want to provide a wireless overlay network in additionto their 100Mb switched wired network. They have a bid for 802.11gaccess points at a cost of $100 each and a bid for 802.11n accesspoints for $300 each. They expect to need 200 NICs. 802.11b NICscame built into their laptop and desktops. 802.11n NICs cost about$100 each. What would you recommend and WHY?

What would you recommend, andWHY?

1. Ubiquitous Offices – UO provides temporaryoffice space in cities around the country. They have a standardoffice layout that is a single floor with outside dimensions of 150feet wide by 150 feet long. The interior is drywall offices. Theyhave a switched 100Mb wired LAN but want to add WLAN as well.Data rates have been shown to slow dramatically when thedistance from a laptop to the wireless access point exceeds 50feet.

1. How many access points would you recommend and wherewould they be placed?
2. Draw the office and show where the access points wouldbe located.
3. Show coverage for each access point with a circle, andlabel the channels (1, 6, 11)
