Any network or information system deployment must be carefully and thoroughly planned and implemented. Failures to thoroughly plan the implementation of wireless networks have led to many project failures due to lack of support, technical issues, and security issues. During this course, you have covered many wireless support topics, technical considerations and issues, and security considerations and issues.

Section 1: Wireless SecurityPlan

Required Format (MS Word File)

1. Write a six to eight (6-8) page wireless security plan for an education institution with a single campus but with multiple buildings on that campus.
   1. The wireless deployment plan must include, but is not limited to, the following items:

1.  Wireless Security Plan Overview
2.  Purpose and Scope

iii.     Wireless Network Equipment and Devices

1.  Wireless Network Device Configuration
2.  Wireless Client Configuration and Access
3.  Wireless Network Staffing, Training, and Support Requirements

vii.     Wireless Network Security Requirements

viii.     Terms and Definitions

1. Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Section 1 of your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Section 2: Wireless Network Architecture

Required Format (MS Visio or equivalent)

1. Use Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative, such as Dia to develop a network architecture diagram depicting the wireless networking equipment, security devices, and architecture for the corporate wireless network.

Section 3: Wireless Project Implementation Plan

Required Format (MS Project or equivalent)

1. Use MS Project or an Open Source alternative, such as Open Project to develop a project plan depicting the project tasks, task durations, predecessors, and resources needed to implement the wireless network.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Analyze the network protocols and security mechanisms in wireless networks.
• Evaluate the application of Wireless LANs, MANs, and PANs.
• Develop a wireless deployment plan to address and solve a proposed business problem.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in wireless networks
• Write clearly and concisely about wireless computing topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.
