1. Name the most suitable wing where the server should be installed. Justify.
Ans: Server is to be placed in the building/ wing, where number of computer are maximum.
2. Draw the cable Layout.
a. Use Star Topology
Or
b. Use the 80-20 rule( Connect the building having shortest distance. For N buildings N-1
wires are required. No loops.
3. Suggest the placement of networking devices.
a. Hub/Switch: In all building/office/wing to connect all the computers.
b. Repeaters: In between the building/office/wing where distance is more than 70 to 100

4. Which communication medium or internet connecting technology is used for connecting office.?
a. High cost and high (speed compromise on Cost) but not on Speed:
Cable connection: optical fiber
Cable connection not possible: (Hilly arar,Long Distance)-
Satellite communication
b. Low cost and Low speed(compromise on speed but not on cost) :
Cable connection: Dial-up connection or Broadband
Cable connection not possible: (Hilly area,Long Distance)-
Rediowave communication
5 . Incase of wireless connection take care of the following points:
a. If compromise on speed but not on cost, then broadband connection will be suitable.
b. Moderate/Economical wireless connection is rediowave/ Microwave. If the area is hilly,
then radio wave is preferred.
c. The best wireless medium is satellite
d. The best wired medium for high speed connectivity is optical fiber.
