Selection guide for networking
This portfolio entry helps you scope a networking requirement with Destiny Computer System. It describes solution areas to discuss rather than a fixed equipment bundle. The products and configuration are selected after the application and site conditions are reviewed.
Equipment and functions to discuss
- Structured LAN
- Managed Network
- Unmanaged Network
- Wireless LAN
- Enterprise Wi-Fi
- Point-to-Point Wireless
- Fibre Optic Networks
- Network Security
- Resource Sharing
- Multi-floor Connectivity
- Campus Networking
Information for an accurate quotation
- Which buildings, floors and outdoor areas need connectivity?
- How many devices connect during normal and busy periods?
- Which systems depend on the network?
- Is there existing cabling, fibre or wireless equipment to assess?
Wireless planning should consider where people work, how many devices connect and which areas need coverage. Enterprise Wi-Fi, wireless LAN and point-to-point requirements are reviewed against the site conditions. Existing connections and physical constraints help determine which wired and wireless arrangements are appropriate.
Installation, integration and handover
The network plan should account for the traffic and access needs of computers, servers, surveillance and communication systems. Installation includes the agreed configuration and connectivity checks. An existing network can also be reviewed for technology gaps, system utilisation and opportunities to simplify support.
Confirm the project scope
Ask the team to confirm the proposed equipment, quantities, required accessories, installation responsibilities and support coverage. Any existing equipment to be retained should be identified before the quotation is finalised. Product availability and the final configuration are confirmed for the particular project.
