Abstract Networking plays a vital part in business today. It provides the tool to link people, software and hardware together. It is not bound by time differences, and it provides businesses the opportunity to work together in ways that would not have been possible 20 years ago. More and more corporations depend on networking within different faucets of their organization. With
However, there are limitations with bandwidth. For example, what is the rate and quantity of information a company wants to transmit per second. This is a critical decision that will impact the success or failure of the system once implemented. It is not only important to know how quickly you want to send information, but also what is the speed at the receiving end. Remote, rural locations might not have the more sophisticated fiber optics cabling and would not be able to receive data at the same rate it is being sent. Access to the Internet and or Intranet may be so slow that some services are not functional. Since the protocol varies from country to country, the network needs to be agile enough to conform.
Specifically, the following cables are the recommended choices and supported by ANSI/TIA-1179:
• Category 6 or 6A UTP, which can support 10G Ethernet at distances to 90 m in the horizontal or 100 m when considering the full channel (including patch cords).
• Laser-optimized (OM3 or OM4) multimode fiber. Multimode fiber can be used both for backbone and horizontal cabling needs. For 10G Ethernet, OM3 fiber allows runs of 300 m, while OM4 supports 550 m. • Single-mode fiber is typically only used where distances preclude the use of multimode fiber, such as between buildings. The cost of transceivers for single-mode fiber is significantly higher than those for multimode
The standard defines various levels of density for work areas based on the type of spaces found in healthcare facilities. For example, low density is recommended for waiting rooms, medium density is recommended for exam rooms and high density is recommended for operating and intensive-care rooms.
Nevertheless, what you could do is to have an option to use both. But if expense is an issue, choose the best method to reduce costs. Once a section of equipment is replaced, test the functionality, and accessibility of resources for the end user. Once that is complete, move on to the next section and repeat the process. Thirdly, although it was not stated in the report as to whether the Sunshine Health Corporation had security or not, it indeed should be implemented. Having security is extremely detrimental to them due to the fact that on a day-to-day basis they would be sending patients’ information and business information over the line. In stating this, it is very important that the servers are well protected, physically as well as the information they are transferring to other systems. The Cisco switches, wireless routers, and IDS systems will provide security for the network from all foreseeable threats. “Providing complete intrusion protection, Cisco IDS delivers a comprehensive, pervasive security solution for combating unauthorized intrusions,
