Aunt Ann’s Kitchen offers a line of specialty food products to institutional customers and restaurant chains. The firm prides itself on using only the finest ingredients and preparation methods. The owner, Ann Rose, hired you as an IT consultant to help her plan the system architecture for a new WLAN that will connect employee computers to the main (wired) network. She asked you to start with the following questions:
1. What possible IEEE 802.11 amendments could be used for the new system? What are the pros and cons of each amendment?
2. Choose an amendment to implement and explain your choice.
3. Suppose that the new WLAN will also provide roaming services for employees with portable notebook computers. Which wireless topology will be required?
