NETWORKING CONCEPTS21. Project ScopeThis project is focused on bedding retailer named “Sleep City” located in Australia that ispresently using dial-up PSTN for networking of information and has decided to implement a new phonesystem. The system that will be implemented for the business could be easily deployed and costefficient. The organization wants to improve their customer service as well as and management ofinventory by deploying Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tagging for tracking stock movement in realtime. In this project, new end-to-end IP infrastructure as an Intelligent Retail network solution for theorganization has been proposed which will provide a scalable solution for voice and datacommunications by the business. 2. ChallengesThe major challenges that are being faced by Sleepcity is with expansion of their presence as thepresent system is not able to support their requirements. Further, the other challenges that are beingfaced by Sleepcity are illustrated as below:The present communication is unable to cater the communication requirements ofSleepcity as with expansion various issues are arising from dial-up PSTN for voice anddata communication within the network. In this context the issue is that thecommunication infrastructure have to be easily deployable and cost efficient.The accessing of the server from remote stores is unreliable and slow as there occursdial-dropouts that eventually causes hindrance to the services being provided to thecustomers at the point of sale.There is a need to implement in store email for cutting down the costs associated withfaxing and improving communication medium to achieve greater customer satisfaction.3.
