Assignment Description

This project requires students to work in groups of 2-4 students. Each group shall submit a single report for grading. The report should make a simple table of members' names, student IDs and their contributions on the report.

Assume that the two organizations below want to have a direct multimedia communication link between them for the exchange of voice, data, images, text, etc.:

- CPA (Certified Practicing Accountants) located at 28 Freshwater Pl, Southbank, Melbourne VIC 3006 and
- Melbourne Institute Technology (MIT) located on La Trobe St VIC 3000 Melbourne.

The executives of the two organizations are unsure of which technology to use. You have thus been consulted as a telecom consultant to propose possible solutions (at least two) for consideration. Afterward, assume that you have been given the contract to design and implement one of the proposals.

Discuss the possibilities or all available options and substantiate why you chose the option that you have designed. All technical and economic details of the system should be documented in the report. The student should demonstrate the following key skills in their report.
- Technological understandings of the proposed solutions
- Economic analysis and selection method of the design and
- Application of engineering principle during design and implementation.
