...CONTINUOUS CASE STUDY This case study can be used as a progressive platform for building and applying data communications and computer networking concepts as students progress through the book. Company Background The company is a division of a Fortune 500 manufacturer of packaging material. This packaging material is used in cookie bags, cigarette cartons, cereal boxes, ice cream containers, and just about every conceivable food-product package. Customers purchase product based on weight (cents per pound or dollars and cents per pound). Additional charges that might be billed to the customer include special packaging charges, storage charges (if the customer requests that product be stored at a public storage facility), and shipping charges (if a contract carrier is utilized to deliver product to the customer). The product is marketed to an existing customer base through an internal sales force that reports directly to the Field Sales Force Manager. The Field Sales Force Manager in turn reports to the Vice President of Marketing and Sales. The combined charter of the marketing department and the sales force team is to maintain and expand product sales to existing customers and develop new sales with existing customers and prospect and develop new customers. The Vice President of Marketing reports to the General Manager of the division, who is an executive VP reporting to the parent company’s chief operations officer or president.

...IS3120 | Final Project | Designing a Network for NCIF | | Keith | 11/26/2013 | This document details the network for NCIF outlining the network design, consisting of various standards, classes and IP addressing for subnets. | NCIF is an industry leading research and development firm consisting of eight (8) regional offices in seven (7) countries, including the United States, Germany, Africa, India, Australia, Brazil, and China, with eleven(11) district or branch offices, consisting of 225,000 employs worldwide. NCIF resides in Hopkinton, MA (USA). Communicating to the consumer is the key element in a successful business. Due to a fast paced world there are modernized techniques that all companies need to adapt and implement when it comes to marketing. There is several ways a company can reach out to their clients. A company must dedicate their time to keep their presence known to the public. In order for Johnson and Company to stay competitive and market to their clients and prospects, there are suggestions I have to help make this happen. First, the phones systems need to be updated from an analog system to a Voice Over IP (VOIP) system. One of the main advantages of VOIP is receiving and taking calls away from the office, if you have an internet connection. Another advantage to a digital phone system is clear and crisp sound creating a better experience for the caller. With VOIP you can set up phone conferences allowing you to see and hear the client or...

...Telecommunications, the internet and wireless technologies Components of a simple network: • NIC (Network Interface Card): to incorporate any laptop to an existing network. • NOS (Network Operating System): to share network resources & route communications on a LAN. • Hubs & switches help route traffic on a network to the right computing device. • Router: when 2 or more networks are connected to each other, it sends data transmissions to the correct device from the internet. Digital Networking Technologies: 3 types, 1. Client/server computing: servers connect to many clients. 2. Packet switching: method of delivering data across a local or a long distance connection, it packages data in units (packets) which identifies intended recipient. 3. TCP(Transmission Control Protocol)/IP(Internet Protocol): a set of protocols to get data from one network device to another. Signal is the transmission of data. Analog signals can be converted into digital signals by using a modem. Analog signals are replicas of sound waves that can be distorted with the noise and drop the quality of transmission. Digital signals have a faster rate of transmission. LAN (Local Area Network): the topology (place) of a LAN can vary greatly, - Star: if the host computer goes down the whole network goes down. - Bus: all computers in the network are linked with cables and treated equally. - Ring: no central host PC, if one PC goes down the rest can still process data & transactions.
