Wi-fi uses radio signals to transmit digital signals to mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers. For Wi-fi signals to be transmitted, a wireless access point is required. If you have a home wireless router, this acts as both the router (to transmit information to and from your Internet connection) as well as a wireless access point. In business settings, specialised wireless access points are used to cover large areas. These access points do not directly transmit your information to and from the Internet; rather they send the information to a much larger router, which handles large amounts of Internet traffic. For our purposes in this case study, you will be concerning yourself only with the wireless access points and not the IT infrastructure required to communicate with the Internet itself. For those of you who are technology minded, things have been simplified to focus on the Project Management aspects rather than being bogged down in technical details. Case study details A number of years ago Deakin University had a limited Wi-fi network that was struggling to meet the increasing demands of students needing to access the University's network using their wireless devices. There were poor coverage areas, dropouts, and insufficient bandwidth to provide sufficiently fast speeds. Students were beginning to move away from the computer labs that provided high speed Internet through hard-connected computers. Wireless devices are being used more and more within the lecture rooms and students are taking advantage of the mobility to study in quiet, less used areas of the university. Of course, Deakin now provides an excellent Wi-fi experience and this work has been completed. There were many complex parts to replacing the Internet infrastructure at Deakin, but as students of MIS398 Project Management, you will be focusing on one element of the Wi-fi implementation, the planning and installation of a brand new set of wireless access points to provide excellent coverage for all students across the Burwood, Geelong and Warrnambool campuses. Other teams within the IT department will be working on the backbone infrastructure that will be used to connect to the Internet. 14 0 8:20 PM Mostly cloudy 9 N ENG A () O US 11/05/2022M Inbc X m Mol X Dea X @ Hor X MIS X Mar X Q Ass X 0 Mai X MIS X @ Qui X * COL X Hor X 5 Mal X + V X C @ File | C:/Users/61452/Downloads/MIS398%20Practice%20Exam.pdf Q E Update Managing expectations is a key IS/IT issue 3 / 5 85% + Stakeholders This project will be run out of Deakin's office of the Chief Digital Officer, run by Mr William Confalonieri. Mr Confalonieri has been mandated by the University Executive to complete the new roll out within 18 months as they seek to provide students will an improved digital experience. Mr Confalonieri will be taking his directions from the University Executive. Your team will be working directly with Mr Confalonieri on the implementation of this project. Project Scope This project will require planning and implementing the installation of a wireless access points across the entire Burwood, Geelong and Warrnambool campuses. Your team will focus on the location where you are based. Page 2 of 5 MIS398 - Project Management Trimester One The goal is to ensure that all buildings have complete wireless access, as well as 75% of out-door area coverage. Students and staff must be able to access the Wi-fi network from any location within a Deakin building and in all areas within a range of 80 metres of a Deakin building. Internet speeds are not part of the scope of this project. Project Budget The entire wireless roll-out project has a budget of $8 million. You will be advised of your budgetary constraints throughout each phase of the project. Project Timeline The entire project has a road-map of 18 months. You will be advised of specific timelines that apply to your specific elements of the project. 14 0 Mostly cloudy 9 N ENG 8:20 PM A () O US 11/05/2022M Inbc X m Mol X Dea X @ Hor X MIS X 5 Mar X _ Ass X Mai X MIS X @ Qui X * COL X Hor X 5 Mar X + V X C @ File | C:/Users/61452/Downloads/MIS398%20Practice%20Exam.pdf Q E Update Managing expectations is a key IS/IT issue 3 / 5 85% + The goal is to ensure that all buildings have complete wireless access, as well as 75% of out-door area coverage.

Technology details Mr Confalonieri has already had a team run a project to research the best wireless access points to be installed on all campuses. The University has decided to use the Ubiquiti Unifi access points. The particular model will be the UAP-AC-PRO as it allows for both indoor and outdoor usage. The UAP-AC-PRO has an unobstructed range of 122m, this range diminishes based on physical barriers such as walls, floors and ceilings.
