Scope of Work Current Environment and Shortcomings The current City of South Bend system consists of an AT&T DSL Internet handoff with a "in -home" level router that connects to a 24 port Netgear switch. There is an "in -home" level AP that is moved to locations as needed to provide wireless. Requested Features The current City of South Bend has requested a Phased approach to upgrading the network and wireless coverage in the backstage, ticketing, and Ballroom areas of the Morris Center with the ability to expand high -density coverage to the guest seating areas in the future. Some specific requests: Wireless Coverage for the front Foyer area and ticket booth of the Center for wireless scanner coverage support Wireless Coverage for the Ball Room. Initially to support approximately 100-150 connected devices to start and possibly expand in the future as need dictates. Staff/Performer Internet connection that is isolated from the Guest network, unrestricted to internet, in stage, backstage, and basement areas. Proposed Solution The proposed solution with the use of the City of South Bend 5508 Wireless controller to provide the centralized controller to the wireless system in the Morris Center. Network Solutions as provided a "full" and "half' density design initially for this request. The proposed solution includes: • Exact access point installation may vary in separate locations due to the challenge of the historic building, and may adjust during installation. • The Ball Room has been reduced to 2 access point placements for the initial phase. These access points will look to be mounted to the lighting rails on opposite corners of the room as depicted in the attached AP placement documentation. Future expansion may require these APs to be relocated. • Additional Access point location recommendations have been provided for ticket/vendor/backstage areas in the provided access point placement maps • A separate access point group will be created for the access points in the Morris Center to allow flexibility in the SSIDs that will be broadcast in this site. • A guest wireless network will be created for the Morris Center with an Access Control List to isolate traffic to "Internet -Only", and a per -user data rate limit will be created. (Rate limit to be determined during planning/configuration) • Staff/Performer Internet will be created as unrestricted to the internet on a separate VLAN from the Guest network. • Cisco 2960X network switches to provide access and connectivity to the newly installed access points, and will link to the City of South Bend network for access to the wireless controller and internet. Based upon Cisco's family of products, and NSI services, NSI will give City of South Bend an updated High -Density wireless system.
