The client is in the middle ranks of the company hierarchy level – 200 persons working

for this company, and they have 3 offices in distinct cities. With the company having
grown in size recently, the company is now in dire need of a strong telecommunication
system that will enhance their operations and help streamline communication gaps
between the different offices. The new system should be capable of providing
dependable connectivity to the internet, enabling internal messaging and video
conferencing as well as VoIP for enhanced interactions among teams.

Prime Communication Needs:


1. Internet Access: Each site is provided with a secure high-speed Internet
connection.
2. Internal Communication: There is a functioning local area network at every office
with capabilities of data and voice communication.
3. Video Conferencing and VoIP: Such services as audio and video telephone
communication can be provided.
4. Security and Data Protection: Company information is secured with encryption
of data communication and measures restricting access to it.

Future Requirements:
Scalability has also to be built in so that as the company develops, it can be able to
support a direct workforce of up to 500 across the new or enlarged office space.

Network Specifications:
Number of Employees: The current workforce has reached an approximated number of
200 employees and is spread in three locations with each office having around 70
workers.
Office Locations: Two offices are in separate cities while one is a branch office in the
same city where the main headquarters are located.

Network Requirements:
LAN (Local Area Network) for each office to secure the internal.
Bandwidth (sufficient to carry Data, voice and video traffic practically ranges from 100
Mbps per office.
VPN connections between all office locations (Virtual Private Network), ensuring a
secure link data transfer from an office to another
The network must manage a variety of traffic types, including:
Voice Traffic: VoIP-based real-time voice communication for calls both inside and
outside the company.
Video Traffic: Using video conferencing for group discussions and correspondence.
Data traffic: includes file transfers, email, general web browsing, and cloud resource
access.

Design Considerations:
The following requirements should be fulfilled by a well-designed telecommunications
system:
Types of Communication: Voice, video, and data communication will all be supported by
the system. Data services with low latency requirements for maximum performance
include voice for internal and external communications, file transfers, and video
conferencing.
Scalability: By adding more network devices and bandwidth, the system will be able to
accommodate up to 500 employees. Cloud-enabled technologies, high-capacity routers,
and modular switches are examples of scalable gear that will be chosen.
Security Measures: To safeguard data and provide safe communication between offices
and outside sources, the system will make use of firewalls, VPNs, and encryption
protocols. Access restrictions and intrusion detection will also be a part of multi-layer
security.
Reliability and Redundancy: Each office will have a backup internet connection to
manage failover, and important system components (such servers and internet
connections) will have redundant configurations to guarantee low downtime.

Key Components of the System:


Network Devices Routers: Using a high-capacity enterprise-grade router with a secure
VPN configuration, routers will link each office's LAN to the internet and to other offices
via VPN.
Switches: Each office's managed switches will make it simple to expand the network as
staff numbers rise and manage local traffic.
Firewalls: Unified Threat Management (UTM) firewalls will be installed in every
workplace to guard against sophisticated threats, inspect traffic, and stop unwanted
access.
Wireless Access Points (WAPs): To provide Wi-Fi coverage, WAPs will be placed in every
office. They are centrally monitored to guarantee seamless access.
Servers
VoIP Servers: Dedicated VoIP servers that integrate with staff devices will facilitate both
internal and external communications.
Depending on requirements for manageability and cost, video conferencing servers can
be hosted in the cloud or on-site.
Data Storage and Backup: Employees can store and share files on data servers with safe
access, and data loss can be avoided with a backup solution.
Technologies for Telecommunications
Fiber-Optic Internet: To accommodate the high bandwidth needed for VoIP and video conferencing,
each office will have high-speed fiber-optic internet as its main link.

VoIP: VoIP will lower expenses and facilitate communication by integrating with video
conferencing technologies.
VPN: By encrypting data transmitted over public internet connections, a VPN will
protect the channels of communication between workplaces and stop unwanted access.
Redundancy Measures: To guarantee continuous operation in the event of ISP
problems, backup internet service from a different provider will be set up for each
office.

Network Diagram:
To show all of the parts and connections of the telecommunications system, a network
diagram is necessary. Among the essential components are:

LAN Layout: Every workplace has its own LAN configuration, complete with VoIP,
conference servers, core and access switches, and VPN routers linked to the internet.
Inter-Office Connections: The three offices are safely connected using VPN connections.
Access Points: For Wi-Fi connectivity, wireless access points will be displayed across
each office.
Internet Connections: A primary fiber-optic connection and a backup ISP are available in
every workplace.

Justification of Design Choices:


The following factors are taken into account when choosing the design and
components:
Router and VPN Selection: To safely connect the offices and facilitate effective data
transfer, enterprise-grade routers with VPN features are chosen. Data transmitted
between offices is encrypted and shielded from outside threats thanks to VPNs.
Fiber-Optic Internet: VoIP and data-intensive video conferencing require high-speed
internet. High bandwidth, low latency, and dependable performance make fiber optics
ideal for multi-location systems.
Scalability and Redundancy: As a business expands, modular switches and routers make
it simple to do so. Redundancy ensures company continuity in the event of primary
connection failures by utilizing redundant routers and backup ISP connections.
Security: VPNs and firewalls, particularly for data shared across offices, assist protect
sensitive information and guarantee regulatory compliance. Advanced security
capabilities like traffic filtering and intrusion prevention are offered by the UTM
firewalls.
VoIP with Video Conferencing: For unified communications, VoIP is affordable and easily
combines with video conferencing. Employees in other workplaces can speak with each
other as if they were in the same place thanks to this configuration.

Cost Estimation:
Component Estimated Cost
Routers 15,00,000
Switches 12,00,000
Firewalls (UTM) 25,00,000
Wireless Access Points 900,000
