This is a Project charter I put together for System analysis and design in my first year.
Project Charter Wi-Fi
Section 1. Charter Introduction
This Project was initialized by the
It department of Truro by discussing the possibility of the town having Wi-Fi
access points around the town. This will impact all the residents of the town
by having access to Wi-Fi. In cases where phone lines are down giving the
residents access to emergency services. Also this would give access to Wi-Fi
for the tourists creating more revenue.
The goal of giving
Wi-Fi access to Truro would be that the residents would have access to wireless
internet. It would be provide competition to the larger Internet Service Providers
providing more residents with cheaper options for Internet options. It would
also create more revenue for our local tourism as tourists will come for the
Wi-Fi.
The Milestones would be in getting
the getting different sections of the town hooked up such as downtown Truro. How
this would be done would be by using, radio communication is used both for the
Wi-Fi service and for the "backhaul"
or pathway to the Internet. This means that the nodes only need a wire for
power (hence the habit of installing them on power and light utility poles).
This "all radio" approach means that nodes must be within range of
each other and form a contiguous pathway back to special aggregation nodes that
have more traditional access to the Internet.
The risks would included
The estimated cost of the Wi-Fi would be which would be
608,000 which would consist of here are a
number of different hardware options that we can use to create a “wireless mesh
network” (which is how a Wi-Fi zone is put together.) When looking at
equipment, you can search for “wireless mesh Access Points.” They are called
Access Points because a user can access internet through them. Because we
were looking to install these devices outside, we were looking, in particular,
for types of equipment that could withstand rain and both high and low
temperatures. At the time of the Vermont Digital Economy Project, there were a
number of options for these types of equipment, including (but not limited to):
Most of the
devices listed above function as both Gateways and Repeaters. A Gateway takes
internet from a dedicated connection (it is plugged in, usually with a Power
over Ethernet cable,) to a standard internet connection. For town Wi-Fi zones,
a basic business level subscription is recommended. This connection is what
brings Internet to the zone. Typically the
same piece of hardware as a Gateway, Repeaters are not hardwired to the Internet.
Rather, they extend the size of the Wi-Fi zone by repeating the Internet
connection via one or more radios, and meshing with each other. One benefit of
many of these systems is that these devices begin as gateways, but if the
internet connection fails, they will automatically reconfigure into repeaters,
taking a signal from another Gateway. Software is
used for monitoring the zone and to ensure everything is working correctly.
This software is also called a “cloud controller” because it resides on remote
servers (the “cloud”) and can be accessed via the Internet from anywhere.

2. Project Overview
4 The
project would include the cost of the routers, gateways, repeaters, access
points. The point of this project would be to provide the whole town with Wi-Fi.
The key points would be to create revenue for our tourism department. To draw
tourists to our town thus increasing tourism. The residents would want access
to Wi-Fi especially in Case of emergency.

Goals
|
Objectives
|
Business Outcomes
|
|
1.
|
To have Wi-Fi down town
|
·
To have
the Wi-Fi Access Points working downtown
|
·
Once the Wi-Fi hotspots are set up. Traffic in
Business will increase
|
|
2.
|
To have Wi-Fi outside tourists spots
|
·
To have all routers, gateways repeaters
working
|
·
Wi-Fi for all will be working tourism will
increase
|
|
3.
|
To have Emergency Wi-Fi working
|
·
To setup Wi-Fi Access points in counter to
when telephones lines go down the access points are still up
|
·
When Telephone lines are done residents will
be able to access wi-Fi
|
2.2Project scope
|
Activities in
Scope
|
Activities out of
Scope
|
|
1. Getting The Wireless Access Points firmly in place
|
1. Attaching too many Access points to telephone or putting them along
the telephone poles.
|
|
2. Getting the routers, gateways and repeaters online and working
|
2. Spending too much time on Network architectural design
|
|
3. Getting the security and Firewalls Set up
|
3. Programming the security software
|
The routers, gateway, and repeaters need to be online and working.
Security protocols need to be assigned to the network. Security protocols would
need to be assigned and put into place as well. (E.g. would be such things such
as a Firewall)

No.
|
Risk Description
|
Probability
(H/M/L) |
Impact
(H/M/L) |
Planned Mitigation
|
|
1.
|
The biggest threat to free Wi-Fi security is the
ability for the hacker to position himself between you and the connection
point. So instead of talking directly with the hotspot, you're sending your
information to the hacker, who then relays it on.
|
The probability of this happening is very high
|
It will impact most
residents
|
The Biggest measurement to prevent this would be to
implement security measurements
|
|
2.
|
Faulty tech including but not limited to routers gateways,
routers gateways
|
The probability of this happening is high but not very
likely at first
|
It will impact all residents if the tech fails
|
To prevent this from happening the IT department will
monitor and produce more redundant tech
|
|
3.
|
Network Servers going down
|
The probability of this happening is high but not very
likely at first
|
It Will affect the network
|
Redundancy will help mitgrate the problem
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assumptions
|
No.
|
The following is assumed:
|
|
1.
|
That the project will need many Wi-Fi routers to create the MAN and
lily pad network
|
|
2.
|
That will need servers to run the network
|
|
3.
|
We will need the IT department to run the network
|

project must respect:
|
No.

3.1Project facilities and resources
Project
will mostly take place around town. It would take place in the IT department
for the town of Truro. The project will mostly consist of routers, gateways,
and repeaters. Of course computer and servers and Wi-Fi Access points.
