1. Project Scope:
The luxury hotel in Greece consists of 56 rooms in total that is situated just a few
steps walking up the Grikos Bay on the Greece’s platform island. The hotel offers all of its
customers with various of service such as the likes of lavish suites, fascinating dining
services, spa services, an elegant bar as well as a beautiful front view of the Greece island
and the beach [1]. In addition to this, the hotel also has the inclusion of private pools as well
as exclusive spa services with the front view to make the customers relaxed while staying at
the hotel. The hotel also displays a series of Greek architecture along within complementary
aesthetics that belong to the Greek history.
With all the above-mentioned features, the guests also have the need for wireless
connection that also should be primarily included within the services while staying at the
hotel. The provisioned internet connectivity might be needed by the guests for a number of
purpose such as accessing emails, searching up for local attractions as well as voice or video
chats with family to keep in touch with their beloved [2]. However, the previously existing
network was outdated having a very poor coverage for signal along with issues in
connectivity as well as security of the connection. This led to a negative impact upon the
guest satisfaction from the company’s end.
Keeping all this in mind, a new network has been designed for the Greek Luxury hotel
that will solve the connectivity issues as well as provision the guests with an allowance of
accessing the internet for their own purposes. The network will be designed in the following
manner,
i) There will be the existence of a main router at the ground floor that will be
connected to the main wireless server for the internet connectivity. From here 5
other routers placed on different floors shall be connected.

3ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
ii) There shall be four floors namely floor-1, floor-2, floor-3 and floor-4. Each of the
floor will be provided with a dedicated router and 14 hosts each for each of the
room. Hence, 56 rooms on each floor consists of 14 rooms each and 14 hosts
inside those rooms.
iii) Apart from these floors, there will be an administration department of the hotel
that will have control and monitor over all the activities carried out within the
hotel including its operation as well as business [3]. The administration
department will be provided with 4 hosts. The administration department will
consist of a dedicated router connected to the main router as well.
iv) Each of the router is wireless and will allow the guests to connect any device of
their choice and access the internet on the same.
2. Response to Project Scope:
For the network design that had been provided in the project scope section of
Assignment part-1, some of the improvements that can be made has been described below
with the following points. These are,
i) The network can be made secure by various security standards for better
protection to the data that is being transmitted over the network.
ii) Installation of access control policies that can be implemented to prevent the
floors from accessing each other and the data that is transmitted over the
communication channel of the designed network [4].

5. Hardware requirements and Budget:
5.1. Hardware requirements and cost:
The following hardware has been utilized while developing and designing the
network for the Greek Luxury Hotel along with the overall costs of all the devices that form a
part of the network.
Router:
Six routers have been used for designing the network that are a part of the hotel’s
network where each of the floor has a separated router and the administration department has
one router [5]. In addition to this, a main router has been provided to get hold of the
connectivity from the server.
Router Name: TP-link Archer C5400 5400 Mbps Router.
Manufacturer- TP Link.
Price- $400.68.

6ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Switch:
Each of the router and the hosts have been connected with the help of a switch to
carry out a secure connection throughout the entire network as well as having a specific
control over switching on/off the network whenever its necessary [6]. The following switch
shall be used within the network of the Greek Hotel.
Switch Name: Netgear 8-Port Business Essentials Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch.
Manufacturer- Netgear.
Price- $79.17.
Figure-3: Switch for Hotel network
Server:
There shall be the existence of a single server that will provide all the routers and in
turn, the hosts with the required amount of internet connectivity [7]. The server will also
provide the external devices that shall be connected wirelessly to the network with internet
connectivity for an unlimited time. The following server will be used to provision the entire
network with the required internet connectivity.

5.2. Human resource and Logistics:
For looking after the network of the Greek Luxury Hotel as well as solving the
problems associated to the network shall be looked after by a network engineer who will be
present at the premise of the hotel during the open hours when the probabilities of a network
problem exists [9]. The network engineer shall be paid a salary of $10,000 per month that
shall be paid by the Greek Luxury Hotel.
Following this, the amount that shall be paid for carrying and bringing all the devices
and equipment that will form the network to the logistics is around $1500 that is a one time
investment.
