Directions: Write a report (1–2 pages) to the bank administration that explains how the design of the wireless network will help to avoid congestion on the network, as well as the components that need to be considered when installing access points. Consider the following when preparing this assignment:

1. The branch location may experience interference with the wireless signal.
2. IP wireless phones must always be in service.
   1. Explain how routing, switching, and the physical /transport layers are relevant to wireless IP phones.
3. Client data must be up-to-date in the system (i.e., bank personnel need the most up-to-date information from customers to best serve their needs)
4. Connecting any handheld device or updating records over a wireless connection may result in a failed attempt. Considering the nature of the bank, how would you prevent this failure from happening?
