The Scenario for Network Design Assessment Tasks
Your company in Australia specialises indesigning networks for local and international clients. They have won a contract to design a network for a project undertaken by a construction company in the Philippines.
This company in the Philippines is planning to construct a new hotel of an international hotel chain on a big island that is situated offshore of the main island. The hotel will have 5 floors and each floor will have 80 rooms. The company also has to create trails through the rainforests in this big island and three small surrounding islands. The terrains of all four islands are not easy to access and all four islands are currently uninhabited. The wildlife habitats of the islands are protected by the government, and except for the hotel and the trails, no other permanent or temporary building constructions are allowed.
The new hotel project also owns a coastal land on the main island. All four islands are 100-200km away from this coastal property and this is the shortest distance from these islands to any available Internet service.The main island has Long Term Evolution (LTE) and 200Mbps fibre optic connections. The big island can fit into a circle of 20km in radius and each small island can fit into a circle of 5km in radius. Each small island is less than 10km away from the seashore of the big island. The network design contract of your company includes the design of the network for the hotel on the big island and the Internet and phone serviceson all four islands. The tourists and hotel staff and tour guides should have Internet access and phone communication from anywhere on these islands to the rest of the world. The trails should have information posts that provide interactive maps and trails of the islands. The user should be able to find the shortest route to a location of interest using them. The surfers will be able to surf in the flagged area of 200m behind the hotel that runs 500m into the sea. However, this is an area known for shark attacks and the surfers should be provided with wireless communication devices to communicate with the lifeguards when required. The company in the Philippines require that the cost of Internet and phone services be minimum.
