Geographical
state of the Company.
How
computers are arranged in the Network.

Details
about the building which we going to setup a network.
How
those departments are located.
Ex-
In
a same building or in different buildings. If Departments are in different buildings
& the distance of two buildings are more than 100m we can’t use UTP CAT 5,
for over come that should use Fiber optics cables.
Old
or new building.
Ex-
If the building has a historical value we should setup a Wireless Network.
Details
about departments.
When
we plan a structured cable design need that information.
Ex-
We can use UTP CAT 5 cables for IT, Finance & HR departments but we should

privilege of the PCs.
Maintain
cost
The
equipments must have low maintain cost.
Ex-cost
of the implementation is high in Fiber optics but maintain cost is low compare
to CAT 5 cables.
