Design and Implementation of Voice over Wireless Local Area Network

Aims: The main aim is to design and implement voice over wireless local area network. Study Design: Building of network system using cabled and wireless media. Place and Duration of Study: College of Physical Science (COLPHYS) of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria, between March 2014 and July 2014. Methodology: The techniques of the Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) and Prototyping were adopted in this project. Results: IP was observed to be ubiquitous and cost-effective and thus the school at large under which college of physical science exists can deploy new voice/data services which removes the need to manage separate voice and data networks in all the colleges. Also, the school can reap the benefits of a standard, highly flexible network, giving competitive market to equipment vendors, and encompassing a wide range of equipment for different market niches. Conclusion: Utilization of cheaper IP-based backbone equipment to carry voice data can be conducted. While this work had demonstrated the feasibility of leveraging on the affordances of IP-enabled telephones and developing a VOIP-based campus-wide telephony, it can be used as a prototype for the full implementation in all departments, colleges and the university at large.
