Assessment - Detailed design of a modern network for a Sydney Central Station to support BYOD.
Unit Learning Outcomes covered in This assessment The purpose of this assignment is to design and develop NETWORK requirements for bring your own device (BYOD,) which can be implemented with LAN/WLAN/WAN services for Australia's largest railway depot, Central Station which is the country's busiest transportation hub, serving as a key interchange point between trains, buses, coaches and trams. The design of network and service must be specific so that it can be used for a purpose of full support to customers, employees and other entitled users to effectively practice BYOD.
After the assignment, students are expected to learn not only the knowledge and current technical aspects of advanced networking but also research, data collection, analysis and writing skills, which are very important and helpful.
The following ULOs:
a. Model and critically compare LAN and WAN network technologies, topologies and implementation;
b. Configure, test and troubleshoot various network devices including routers and switches
c. Evaluate, different WAN protocols; such as HDLC, PPP, Frame Relay, DHCP, ISDN, NAT and PAT in a network environment, and configure, verify, troubleshoot related equipment;
Assignment Description:
Research and propose a Modern Network for the Sydney Central station with internet and wireless access. Details description is as under.
Description:
Australia's Busiest Transportation Hub Requires Strong, Scalable and Manageable Internet Connectivity to Support Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) Phenomenon
ABOUT THE AUSTRALIA'S LARGEST RAILWAY DEPOT
As Australia's largest railway depot, Central Station has accommodated the people of Sydney, New South Wales (NSW) and Australia for more than 100 years. Central Station is also the country's busiest transportation hub, serving as a key interchange point between trains, buses, coaches and trams. More than 180,000 travelers pass through Central Station every day.
CHALLENGES
– The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) phenomenon created a growing demand for high-quality public Internet connectivity among the thousands of daily visitors passing through Central Station. The implementation of Wi-Fi for wireless broadband access would satisfy travelers' Web-access needs.
– In addition to acquiring Internet access, Central Station needed to be able to manage the bandwidth and ensure an optimum connection and an equal share for each user.
BYOD
BYOD is the emerging trend of people/employees/customers/crowd using their personal devices, like smartphones, tablets, laptops etc, to remotely access any organizational network to carry out work. BYOD encompasses BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone), BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology) and BYOPC (Bring Your Own PC) and is now encouraged by companies and organization all over the world.
REQUIRED RESULTS
A significant improvement is required in the following facilities/services;
– Quality of Service
– Productivity
– Scalability
– Connectivity and Roaming
– Analytics
THE REPORT
You are required to propose a detailed solution for the above discussed problem addressing all the challenges and write a report about it.
There are three (3) areas to consider for advanced network design in this assignment.
