Newton is considering adding a new office and is exploring potential locations in Tacoma, Washington; Rochester, New York; or Fayetteville, North Carolina. Your task is to choose one of the possible locations and deliver a report to the team with key considerations and recommendations for the setup of the network infrastructure at the new office. This office will be home to 50 employees, including the new executive vice president of sales and marketing. All the possible sites have offices located on the third floor of an office building with access to fiber, cable, and T1 internet service providers. In addition to the standard network, the site must support live video teleconferencing calls with employees based at the other sites, as well as reliably send print jobs to billboard printers located in the satellite office in Austin.

Prompt: Here is the prompt for the final project as a whole:

How would you approach setting up the network at the location you have selected? What considerations are key in informing the systems and resources necessary to meet the organizations needs and support the business goals and objectives?

Keep in mind, however, that your work in Milestone Two involves only Sections III and IV of the final project. Therefore, for Milestone Two, the modified prompt is as follows: Explain key considerations for identifying an internet service provider for the new location and recommend the appropriate provider to match the business case. Then, address considerations and make recommendations regarding hardware and software selection, printer configurations, and bandwidth that address business needs. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Internet Service Provider (Note: This section is based on research into actual providers at the office location that you select)

A. Explain key considerations for identifying an internet service provider for the new location.

B. Compare at least two internet providers available in the location you have chosen in regard to speed, security, and reliability. Be sure to address how these specifics would impact business goals and objectives.

C. Based on your analysis, determine the appropriate internet provider for this location to meet the business goals and objectives. Be sure to explain your reasoning.

II. Additional Configurations: In this section, you will address the accompanying considerations for the network based on the needs of the new office location.

A. Make appropriate hardware and software recommendations to meet the needs of the new office location. Be sure to explain your reasoning.

B. Make appropriate printer configuration recommendations to meet the distance printing needs of the new office location. Be sure to explain your reasoning. In Milestone One, you selected an office location. Now, in Milestone Two, you will need to research internet service providers at that location. This will involve internet research. Be sure to cite your research in APA style.

C. Make appropriate bandwidth and device recommendations to meet the teleconferencing needs of the new office location. Be sure to explain your reasoning.

The location I have chosen is Tacoma, WA. I can do the research on the ISP's on my own, just need a little direction for the rest. Thanks!
