Case Study for Municipal WiFi

He mentioned using applications like Airport Utility to track wifi strength in an area, you can walk around and it will tell you when the strength decreases and increases depending on where you are standing. Although we usually pass off troubleshooting wifi strength issues because we do not manage the wireless, it could be a way we can check to make sure if there is an actual strength issue in a resident's

Wireless network infrastructure has become just another connection method for corporate and home users alike. This rapid acceptance can be attributed from:

Outline a wireless network and technology that you use regularly. The WLANs which are derived from the IEEE 802.11 standards, and marketed under the Wi-Fi trademark name. The WLANs security is neither forthright/candid nor simple, and it is continuously varying. Even though, as WLAN increase client output, they also expose the networks to a new group of potential hackers. With the present inherent security weakness of the 802.11 standard, all companies, small, medium or large, need to find out their security conditions derived from the applications using the WLAN. The standards also provide requirements for high-speed networks that support most modern-day applications. What sorts of security issues do

Each site slated for secure indoor wireless had a site survey done. The site survey method was top-down with the roof as the starting point. As with most site surveys the locations for equipment was identified and the cabling pathways were determined. In addition, a wireless survey was performed to identify possible sources of interference and find best install sites for AP’s. This was performed using wireless analysis tools to get the best installation places.

Wireless LANs are commonly used on college campuses and most laptops come equipped with wireless LAN capabilities. They do not have any defined boundaries, which makes it hard for the user to control the network traffic. Wireless LANs make it possible for people to use the internet anywhere there is free and non-secured Wi-Fi. The ability to connect wirelessly is based on the location of the access point. If a person is close to an access point, they can get a strong signal. If they far, they can get a weak signal or no signal. Wireless LANs can be unreliable as well because of weather, and the environment.

The market for wireless communications has experienced incredible growth over recent years and wireless LANs have rapidly become a very

802.11 WLANs use CSMA/CA, the devices use a four-way handshake to gain access to the airwaves to ensure collision avoidance, and also to know about hidden nodes from different wireless standard.

Installation of wireless networks are relatively easy - they often simply involve playing a wireless access point in a place where the signal reaches the most areas. In more advanced installations, it is common to use a radio mapper to determine where the signal does and does not reach, for practicality and security reasons. The power of the router is important to consider and often can be adjusted on the software side to suit the

The wireless deployment plan overview is to list out the requirements for the deployment of a wireless infrastructure to a multi-building campus for an education Institute. This campus has a single campus but has many other buildings that are part of this one campus. There will be several lands inside of this network and connecting them together we'll make this a win however when it comes to Camp assist it is called a can which stands for campus area network. There are many aspects to a wireless deployment phase and in the institution of a open network for the campus there has to be something put in place to cover every area and to be able to give the students the connection that they properly need. The network

A wireless network could be useful in many places like a home or business/workplace to be able to share a variety of files such as printers and scanners.

Wireless connectivity is critical to most homes and corporations as the world advances in technology. The technology has grown to a capacity that allows for extreme growth in wireless infrastructure as well as a trend of bringing your own technology device. Many corporations experience a high volume of critically important information being transferred over it wireless network so security is essential. There are many differences between a home and corporate wireless installation and each has its differences in securing.

This report fulfills the specific requirement for documentation as specified in FIT 5083 Assignment 1. In this technical report, we will identify the various steps and techniques used in deployment of wireless network. Initially, what is networking or network infrastructure? Networking mean to connect two or more devices and configure them in such a way that they can communicate with each other. In networking, network infrastructure means to connect the software and hardware part rather than actual connection between two devices. Now days, wireless network connections are highly on demand because it’s easy to access and it does not require any cabling structure.

Wireless networking hardware requires the use of underlying technology that deals with radio frequencies as well as data transmission. The most widely used standard is 802.11 produced by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This is a standard defining all aspects of Radio Frequency Wireless networking

Ekahua software was used to get a technical perspective of the infrastructure. The figure to the right is a heat map of the library’s third floor. The icons spread around the map are the access points of the floor in their locations. It is worth noting that, toward the end of the map on either side is a collection of APs from the floors below. At the edge of the third floor there is likely less insolation, allowing the APs from the lower floors to be picked up. Above each of the icons the ESSIDs and their level of security is detailed in black print. Below, in the purple subscripts are the channels that each AP acts on. There are two ESSIDs on each AP (all running 802.11n standard) out of a total of four existing networks: rit_guest, rit, ritwpa2, and eduroam. The latter two networks are both WPA2 authenticated while rit and rit_guest both being open networks for guest usages. While unclear in the figure, each AP possesses one open network and another WPA2 authentication network. The student body and faculty frequent ritwpa2 network and is likely the most congested of the networks on the floor. The shaded areas indicate the range and signal strength with the deeper shades of green indicating the strongest signals and
