Also one has to know what type of network has been worked on, what network topologies the security is going on. The ring topology is going to be different from a bus or star topology. The hybrid is going to be different from the mesh topology or even wireless, this can be one of the hardest networks to protect. Also one has to think about size when it comes to building a network. Most people most of the time can’t tell the different between a big network and a small network. Big networks mostly consist of multiple several servers, computers and other device which connects to the network from the outside. All these devices need to be protected or secured when it’s connected to the internet and the network. Big networks are used mostly in bigger institution and organization where by 30 or more computers and server are used and are all linked to the network. Also speed is a factor when it comes to the internet networks but most importantly it’s important to bigger institutions and companies. Policy is one thing that most organization needs because if they want their network and the use of internet to be secured. Policies have to cover all aspect that the network is in. There has to be a lot of thought put in and all devices and how they connect to the outside world has to be considered. Small networks sometimes don’t have benefits and the down fall bigger networks have. Although speed is a factor, one

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

This is a direct extension of the 802.11b that extends the maximum data rate to 54Mbps, making it possible to serve up to five times as many users. Our Wi-Fi network is based on the IEEE 802.11 b/g standards, which is the most commonly used standard. We have added Wi-Fi access points in our network to give easier access to corporate data and services. Most of the devices in this network, for example the personal computers, smartphones, digital cameras, tablets and digital audio players connected using the Wi-Fi technology. The hotspot will be in the range of 20 meters (66 feet) indoors and a greater range outside.

Because the first deployment model can cause network slowdowns and affect the normal workflow, it doesn’t make a viable solution. The other deployments models, build in WIPS functionality in the access points and WIPS with dedicated sensors are more common, if not the most widely used and that why it will be my main focus for the analysis.

Standardization organizations, like IEEE, ETSI, are providing continuous effort to meet new demands from user by introducing new standards as well as minimizing shortcomings of the previous standards. This includes performance fine-tuning, like smother and seamless roaming capabilities as well as QoS and most importantly security features. These standards are currently in development, and will sit atop of existing ones delivering more robust performance Wireless LAN."[5] The wireless market is expected to grow significantly over the next several years. As this growth occurs, solution providers will also be expected to address security concerns. [6]

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

802.11ac is a fifth generation WLAN standard. The transfer speed of this standard is three times higher than the speed of its predecessor and is at the same time much faster than the standard that emerged in 1997. Its security is improved, and both the capacity and the range of this standard are significantly enlarged. Those features play a key role in its quality improvement. Its speed reaches up to 1Gbps, enabling high bandwidth transfer on multiple devices at the same time. The 5GHz channel reduces the number of errors. There is large number of wireless devices that broadcast equivalent omnidirectional signals but when using the 802.11ac standard there is an option to find the location of the broadcasting device in the network. Using this option, the sender can locate and send the packages directly to the device which is connected to the Internet and that is the reason why the signal is stronger, clearer and three times faster. The aim of this research would be to analyze all characteristics mentioned above and their practical implementation in a device that uses 802.11ac standard.

The very important factor of network deployment is security planning. Without doing a full risk assessment, it is not possible to plan for security. This security planning involves developing security policies and implementing controls to prevent computer risks from becoming reality.

Being one of the most extended wireless technologies in wireless communication networks, IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN offers simplicity, flexibility and cost effectiveness as its main characteristics. This wireless technology provides communication between peoples everywhere and computing environment at any place where peoples needed wireless communication to communicate. At the same time, number of users for multimedia applications increased. Nowadays, peoples want more of the high-speed video, audio, voice and web services anywhere and anytime. Unfortunately, these multimedia applications require Quality of Service support such as guaranteed bandwidth, delay, jitter, and error rate. This might be challenging as

The architecture of a network layout shows a detailed view of resources and a across-the-board framework of all the resources accessible to the organization. The networks physical layout is influenced with security in mind. Things to be considered are, where the servers are to be placed, firewalls and other hardware components. This includes the types of devices, printers, routers and other peripherals, including table decisions and other hardware component parts useful communication. The access method topology you use determines how and where the physical wireless connections need to be placed as well as what protocols and software rules will be used to regulate the network architecture. Network architecture in most scenarios is developed and organized by a network administrator. A larger network would require coordination with network design engineer. A network architect needs many areas of experience to determine will the network be wired or wireless. Other areas to consider are,will the network be classified as a LAN, MAN or WAN. The best topology needs to be decided based on the equipment layout, such as star, loop, bus, mesh, etc; .The network architect needs to put direct rules for security, recognize and prevent potential problems, and document everything done. The first and most important item to be addressed is to set goals to work within a given budget while designing the most

Although 4G network in some areas not yet fully universal, but the most recent 5G this topic has fired up. 5G network as a next generation mobile communication network, its theoretical maximum transfer speeds of up to tens of Gb per second, which is far more than the transmission rate of the existing 4G network, the whole ultra-high-definition movie can be downloaded completed within one second. 802.11ac technology are used in fifth generation network as a mainstay. It has also become the focus of the network industry concerned. This report try to represent a full picture of 802.11ac technology.

As far as software implementation is concerned, we have to learn the usage of SDR on GNU Radio or MATLAB platform for the successful working of our project. We have to figure out 802.11n protocol variant protocol for its implementation on an SDR in a way that provides viable network performance testing condition. The same has to be done for implementing LTE protocol on an SDR. Testing has to be done to ensure the performance and accuracy of the two protocols on SDR using performance measurement tool kit. Due to the space like environment there will be several propagation constraints that will be analyzed by using EDX wireless software tool. A space communication like environment has to be set up and testing the performance of the two protocols has to be evaluated. The following are the explanations of the various components that will be used in our project and the wireless propagation aspects that will be covered through our project:

A Wireless network is a type of computer network that uses wireless data connections for connecting network nodes. It is a method for homes, telecommunication networks, business, and enterprise to avoid a costly process of cables into a buildings or connection between various equipment’s locations. And each device can communicate with another node immediately within their radio range or one which outside the range using wireless links. One type of wireless networks called ad-hoc networks. An ad-hoc networks have become increasingly relevant in recent year due to their potential applications in battlefield, military, and emergency disaster relief etc.,. It is a self-configuring network. And it consists of collection of autonomous mobile

In order to minimize the energy consumption at the end device and the usage of the Cellular spectrum should be used only if necessary [17]. We can aggregate Wi-fi and Cellular link Based on the detailed information available for a certain application is possible [18], and can be compared in terms of benefits as well as drawbacks.
