Assignment 1 Overview of Internetworking MN503
A case study entitled “TP-LINK Helps Calasanz School Provide Wireless Coverage in Colombia” is
uploaded with the assignment 1 folder, and the link for the case study is provided as an appendix.
Based on your understanding of the case study prepare a report on the proposed wired and wireless
network design for Calasanz School. The report on the proposed design should have the following
contents.
Project scope
Challenges
User-centric design concept
Project hardware requirements
Network design in an appropriate simulation software
Outcomes
Limitations
Conclusion
Demonstration (snapshots of ping connectivity is preferable)
IEEE referencing style
While designing the wired and the wireless network, please consider Calasanz School has six
departments, namely, Admin, Academic, Human Resource (HR), Finance, IT support and Sports.

TP-LINK Helps Calasanz School
Provide Wireless Coverage in Colombia
CUSTOMER PROFILE
Name: Calasanz School
Location: Colombia
Schools: Preschool, Primary School,
High School
Students: 1290+
BACKGROUND
Located in Cucuta, Norte de Santander, the
Calasanz school campus sits on approximately
three acres of land and serves over 1290+
CHALLENGE
Calasanz needed a comprehensive, technologically
advanced wireless solution that was cost effective and
allowed for network monitoring. The solution had to be
easy to deploy and manage due to limited staff. The
wireless signals needed to cover the two main
uildings of the primary school and high school with 33
classrooms in total. Moreover, the staff and students
each needed separate log-in credentials, to allow them
different levels of Internet access.
