WIRELESS LAN IN UTP CAMPUS AREA

In the world nowadays, more and more organizations and learning institute are deploying
the Wireless Local Area Network or WLAN to be used together or to replace with the
wired LAN. WLAN is wireless networks between computers within one building or a
group of buildings. The frequently used protocol in WLAN is the Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11
standards. The objective of the project is to develop a conceptual design of a Wireless
LAN for UTP campus area. The literature review and case study touch on what is WLAN
and its pros such as mobility and the contras such as, the slow network speed and
interference. The methodology or steps used to complete the project are project
preliminary study, project requirements, project research and analysis, network design
and development stage, and lastly the evaluation stage. Though WLAN has some of its
downside, it is convenient because of mobility, lower cost to deploy and provide security
to its user.
