Students will specify how the existing networking infrastructure can be improved and what would be ensuing business benefits. Students will also consider how the existing networking infrastructure can accommodate or be adapted for new and emerging technology trends. Students will be assessed in the assignments on their knowledge of contemporary networking infrastructure in organisations and their ability to develop network designs that address organisational challenges and opportunities.
