4.1 Project Scope
Melbourne Institute of Technology does not consist of sufficient network infrastructure to
support the learning initiatives of 21st century. The wireless networking system project for the university
will consist of implement a wireless network infrastructure to meet with the current standards of the
university. It provides with networking foundations for the future of the university. This will provide with
robust wired as well as wireless network at the campus. This project plan will provide the staffs as well
as student with the devices which will support them with use of wireless technology within the
classroom.
