Question

A small company in Des Moines wants to set up an IT architecture for its workforce. The company recently moved to an older building that has solid walls and ceilings. Furthermore, most of the staff likes the flexibility of moving around the open office space to perform work on their laptops. Which communication architecture makes most sense for this company?
(a) Mainframe
(b) Web-services
(c) Peer-to-peer
(d) Wireless
(e) Server-to-server

Answer 1

Answer:

The communication architecture D. Wireless

Explanation:

There are two types of Wireless architecture:

1. Centralized Wireless LAN architecture - here, servers, switches, and access points are deployed, however, all traffic goes through the WLAN switch.
2. Distributed Wireless LAN architecture - here, access points have access control characteristics, layer 2 bridging and more security. This architecture does not rely on a centralized device to handle the traffic, instead, the load is distributed  across the access points.

Due to the flexibility of moving around the office, a wireless communication architecture will make more sense for the small company in Des Moines
