The buildings are now connected through separate networks, but the business would want to be able to share data across them. For instance, the Quality Control Department in Building 1 would want to have access to servers in Building 2's Research Department. In addition, the Sales Department in Building 3 intends to use the Internet to offer video training sessions for its field agents. Next door in the warehouse, 50 Fulfillment Department shipping and packing workers will be running forklifts up and down the aisles taking goods off the shelves on a regular basis.   1.What kind of transmission medium would you suggest for each of the medical instrument company's buildings and departments, and why?
