Activity Details
Develop and submit an outline for your group project “Designing a small business LAN/WAN network” (Group Project) (100 pts). The outline is the first step of your Group Project and will be followed by a written draft and diagrams which support the design of an E-Commerce small business network (e.g. B2B, B2C, C2B, etc.). Set a time to meet with your group using a video conference tool (e.g. WebEx, Teams, Skype, Zoom, Google Hangouts, etc.)

Include associated network printers, servers, desktops, WAPs, BAPs, and cabling components discussed in the first two lessons.
Format: Use APA format to submit a group project outline containing Title Page with a Running Head, Intro., Body, Conclusion, References, and five Network Centric Design topics. The outline may exceed two pages, no more than five pages in length.
