Bering (Chicago) has decided that it needs to redesign its manufacturing floor network by opening it up to wireless access, so that those responsible for the flow of the manufacturing facility will have the ability to move around and access the manufacturing and customer databases anywhere and at any time on the floor using a variety of mobile devices.

However, having wireless access within the facility can potentially open up the network to a variety of attacks. These threats can come from individuals visiting the office, users within the office/on the floor and possible external threats (for example, the signal can be picked up outside the office as leakage as it is an easily intercepted medium and does not require a physical connection.)

You have been charged with addressing this redesign. In addition, you need to be aware of how your design will support policies regarding Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and wireless communication. Review the example polices provided as reading for this Module as examples of the typical requirements that make up these policies.

Note: Workers on the factory floor use a mixture of devices including tablets and laptops.

You are required to create a design proposal in which you:

1. Demonstrate a wireless access point diagram using the providedFloor Plan. Consider and note placement of all wireless access points:

• A. Diagram the placement and area of the signal coverage.
• B. Ensure overlap of wireless signals and ensure there is no "blank spots".
• C. Minimize any potential signal leakage outside the facility.
