CMGT 2024 - Telecommunications Standards and Protocols Analysis

This report assesses the telecommunications standards, protocols, and collaboration tools used by International Plastics across multiple locations, including Albany, Pontiac, and China headquarters. The analysis, conducted as part of the CMGT Part 2 assignment, reviews existing network diagrams and current technologies like VOIP, LAN, and various server setups (Unix, HP). The report identifies areas for improvement, such as migrating from LAN to WAN, replacing Unix servers with Windows servers, and implementing firewalls for enhanced network security. Recommendations are provided in a table format detailing the current telecommunications standards, protocols, and collaboration tools, along with suggested improvements and their expected effects. The report emphasizes the benefits of a WAN for large geographical coverage, centralized data, and improved bandwidth, as well as the advantages of Windows servers and firewalls for data protection. The conclusion recommends implementing firewalls, switching to WAN, and replacing Unix servers with Windows servers to enhance security, efficiency, and data management, citing relevant scholarly resources in APA format.

Corporate headquarters It can be recommended
to the company to use a

as this a very big
Company. The servers
can be changed to
Windows server in
place of the Unix
servers. A firewall
must be used in each of

The effects of
improvement are that
the Company will be
using the Wide Area
network and it covers
large geographical area
and the data will be
centralized. With the
help of windows
server, the user can
develop a database
driven website.

be used. A firewall
must be used in each of

The windows server
will be used as it has
several advantages
over the Unix server
and the WAN will be
used in order to cover
large geographical area
and data will be
centralized in WAN.

As this a global
business, then WAN
must be used as it
covers large
geographical areas and
files can be exchanged

China headquarters In place of VOIP,
Skype can be used.
Unix servers can be

each of the systems
should have a firewall.
Using Google voice
will help to save
money and using this;
calls can be taken and
done anywhere.
Windows server is far
better than Unix server
is.
The recommendation that will have most beneficial impact on the company is that the
company should use WAN in place of LAN and firewalls should be used in each of the
systems so that the hackers cannot enter the systems through the network (Lavric & Popa,
2017).
The Company has huge sensitive data those are very important for the Company.
Therefore, the company should use firewalls in each of the systems so that the hackers do not
access the sensitive information and they cannot enter the systems through the network.
WAN should be used in place of LAN because WAN can be used over large geographical
areas and the data can be centralized in WAN, it has high bandwidth and it distributes the
workload and reduces the charges of travel (Jiang et al., 2017). Thus, the company will be
benefitted on implementing WAN. The UNIX servers those are implemented in the company
must be replaced with Windows server. A windows server provides more support and more
range than the servers of UNIX do. Microsoft is the choice of the large companies those exist.
These recommendations will have advantages over the telecommunication protocols those are

implemented in the Company and the company will operate better and faster with the help of
these protocols.
