The Small Law Firm of Freedom and Price Two Attorney’s one legal secretary Moving to old Victorian in Mission district Installation of secure network By Samuel and Lamonte

First, we have a Peer to Peer Network, that’s fully capable of performing all your request but we feel it lacks the security from any serious outside attempts to infiltrate your confidential data files. See floor plan and final cost analysis. Second, we took an Client Server Network, with mostly the same layout but with exceptionally more secure file and data safe guards built-in with the intent to remove all possible loss of files or records as well as Firewall security to and from the internet. See floor plan and final cost analysis. These are our offerings for your New Office Space we hope you are more than satisfied and comfortable with the results.

ANNUAL MEETING AT MOSCONE CENTER CASE 4 BY TEAM II

Were recommending a wireless access-point web design.  We will use directional antennas and a central wireless controller to cover a long theater room from the back of the room where we didn't have the ability to position access points centrally.  We will also use mild directional antennas to direct the signal away from areas that were covered by other access points.  For digital problems: In our SSID selection we opted to use one SSID for each band (scale24 for 2.4GHz and scale5 for 5GHz), and reuse the same SSID on every access point. While allowing a different SSID on each access point gives the user more control, the fact that using the same SSID everywhere allows the clients to roam between access points as they move throughout the meeting area, without them having to change their sign- on.  Final cost of setup and monitoring will be $ 5, us.

Strategically placing access points for best results

We find the wireless web configuration adequate for heavy access volume.
