Patton-Fuller Community Hospital ”Patton- Fuller Community Hospital has prided itself on providing top-of-the-notch not-for-profit health care organization since their opening in 1975” (University of Phoenix, 2012). The hospital’s specialty is in providing high-quality health care to all patients, and establishing peaceful work relationships within the staff.

Duvv Enterprises is the IT solution for WAN/WLAN integration needs. For Patton-Fuller Community Hospital, we will address the existing network architecture of the hospital: Patton-Fuller utilizes a “high-end Local Area Network (LAN) (based on 1000Base-T using CAT 6 cable) that links all of its Systems Applications and Products (SAP) and terminals to workstations over a small geographic area. Duvv Enterprises will also touch basis with the implementation of a complete WLAN networking environment that calls also for the installation of Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol (VOIP), and the design of a high-speed Wide Area Network (WAN) that will enable Packet Filters (PF), or firewalls to connects three other hospitals with Patton-Fuller. Lastly, Duvv Enterprises will implement the following three processes: the first process will identify the hardware and software needed to secure Patton-Fuller’s choice of networks against all electronic threats. The second process will distinguish between local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and wireless technologies. The third
