XYZ Corp is planning a new network. Engineers in the design shop must have connections to accountants and salespeople in the front office but all routes between the two areas must traverse the shop floor, where arc welders and metal-stamping equipment create potent amouts of EMI and RFI. Given that both the engineering and the front office areas use 10BaseT (twisted-pair Ethernet), how might you interconnect those two areas? what meduim guarantees immunity from the interference?"
2. TVBCA has just occupied and old historic building in downtown Pittsburgh in which 15 employees will work. Because of historic building codes, TVBCA is not permitted to run cables inside walls or ceilings.
Required results: Employees must be able to share files and printers as in a typical LAN environment without the use of cables.
Optional desired results: Employees must be able to use their laptops and move freely throughout the office while maintaing a network connection. Because of the size of some computer-aided design (CAD) files employees use frequently, data transfer speeds should be more than 20Mbps.
Proposed Solution: Install an 802.11a wireless access point and configure each computer and laptop with a wireless network card. Which results does the proposed soulution deliver? Explain your answer.
a. The proposed solution delivers the required result and both optional desired results.
b. The proposed solution delivers the required result and only one of the two optional desired results.
c. The proposed solution delivers the required result but neither optional desired result.
d. The proposed solution does not deliver the required result.
