Design an enterprise network (including Wi-Fi) for factory automation
The objective of this project is to design a data network for factory automation, the network is
composed of both a wired LAN (based on Gigabit/Fast Ethernet) and a Wi-Fi WLAN based on
IEEE802.11n (or better). The factory layout is shown in the below floor plan:
Figure 1. Factory floor plan
The goal of your report is to show an end-to-end solution for the network design including all
needed details with proper justification. Your design should address the following points:
Wi-Fi network design
Assuming your budget is only for
12-16 access points, you will
need to find the best place for the
12-16 Wi-Fi access points and
simulate the coverage of these
access points using the provided
Matlab script (or any external tool
that can do the same or better),
the outcome of the Wi-Fi design:
- Plot for the coverage
(received signal strength
in dBm)[sometimes
called heatmap] similar to
the example in Fig. 2(this
one is showing 3 access points,
but yours should show 12-16 APs),
