Office Network Upgrade
Description
Replace aging unmanaged switches with managed hardware, implement VLANs to segment staff, IoT, and guest traffic. Eliminate network bottlenecks causing slow file transfers and video call drops.
Scope
Objective
Upgrade office network infrastructure to support 50+ devices with proper traffic segmentation.
Deliverables
- Core managed switch installed and configured
- VLANs: staff, IoT, guest
- All patch points documented
- Speed test results showing improvement
Acceptance Criteria
- File transfers sustain >500Mbps
- Video calls show zero packet loss on staff VLAN
- Guest VLAN has no access to internal resources
- Network diagram updated
Milestones
- Cabling survey complete
- Hardware procured
- Core switch live
- VLANs configured and tested
Estimated: 30 hours
