Diseño de una red inalámbrica bajo el estándar IEEE 802.11n/ac para la empresa NGT S.A

Abstract

The company "Next Generation Technology" NGT S.A currently has a wireless network under the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g standard. The coverage, performance, capacity and reliability of the wireless network have been diminished by the technological force of the equipment, causing users: lack of mobility and limited access to technological resources. Based on this problem, the main objective of this technical project is to design a modern wireless network under the IEEE 802.11n/ac standard, to meet the current and future requirements of the company NGT S.A. in terms of: coverage, capacity, scalability and security aimed at a short-term implementation. In the initial part, the concepts and theory related to WLANs and the IEEE 802.11 standard are described, in terms of their architecture, applications, advantages, disadvantages, securities, evolution and topology. Next, the current description of the technological infrastructure, its different networks, equipment and its operation is made. Additionally, an analysis of the current wireless network and a description of the propagation models of electromagnetic waves in indoor environments is made. The wireless network was designed, taking into account the growth in the future, sizing: traffic, capacity, security and scalability. And finally, an economic budget is presented, evaluating the solutions available in the market based on the offers of different suppliers.
