The following key objectives were defined and implemented as part of this project:
- Design and implementation of a standards-compliant passive network infrastructure
- Improvement of network stability and reliability
- Development of organizational communication infrastructure
- Implementation of an earthing and electrical protection system
- Enhancement of network equipment security
- Provision of a suitable infrastructure for active network equipment
- Future scalability of the information technology infrastructure
Passive Network Infrastructure Design and Implementation
Requirements Analysis and Infrastructure Design
