Summary
Project Overview
Scope : Wireless Access
Cost: $95,000
Schedule: Two Months
Key Requirements
Satisfies increased demand Supports flexible bandwidth management Provides scalability Optimizes access point placement
Mandatory
User-friendly for patrons, staff and management Offers balance between privacy and security Features monitoring and reporting tools Adds individual wireless controllers to libraries
Desirable
Uniquely identifies patrons for access to catalog and printingWish-List
Traditional Approach
Add additional Access Points (APs)
to existing infrastructure
Select more powerful APs
Optimize AP placement
Major Disadvantages
Slow to deploy
High cost and complexity of hardware controllers
Expanding coverage requires upgrading controllers
Requires trained on-site IT staff
Management interface not user-friendly
Lack of sophisticated monitoring and reporting tools
No flexible traffic or security management features
Requires manual installation of updates and security patches
