Project Members:
Kenneth Wee Wei Weng,Ng Chi Ming
=============================================

Objectives :

• Facilitate movement of Service-Oriented Architecture(SOA) Cisco equipment from SOA lab of block M to block L.
• Investigate,Consolidate plan,Design,develop,implement and review classroom network migration for Engineering Informatics from block M level 3 to block L level 6.

Project Description :

• Research about Next Generation Network in the field of Cisco Unified Communications.
• Setup Cisco Unified Communication model.
• Simulate possible Scenarios with limited resources.
• Research and implement about Wireless,Network Security and IPv6.
• Development of a Instant Messaging Software that allow voice,video and data transfer using Open Source code.

Unified Communications :

• Relies on Internet Protocol(IP).
• Seamlessly setup a real-time collaboration.
• Uses are myriad for businesses
• VoIP, provides digital telephone services over IP networks,including the Internet instead of using switched telephone networks.

Benefits of Unified Communications :

• Streamline information delivery
• Minimize and eliminate Human Delays
• Easier and more direct communication between co-workers,suppliers and clients,even if neither of the parties are not physically on the same site.
• Improve customer's loyalty,sales and profitability by providing more informed and responsive customer service.

Challenges(Problems):

• Lack of equipments.
• Unfamiliar with Unified Communications.
• Pioneer of Project.
• Understanding certain firewall terms and definition and also how Cisco Firewall works.
• Debugging open source code errors.

Solution to Challenges(respectively according to problems mention above) :

• Search for cost of equipment,Seek help from Supervisors.
• Explore,trial and search through Internet.
• Research on various website that provide the best Information.
• Information from the Internet,reference books and conduct testing.
• Look for working source that is able to compile,run and debug errors in the codes.

Porject Experiences :

• Learn new software application and skills.
• Learn the way how network engineer solve problems.
• Self-dependency
• Time management
• Real life working experiences
• Improves Communication skills
• Work as a team

Conclusion :

• Learn more about the limitation of Wireless Network.
• Wireless VoIP is an attractive technology.
• Increase usage of Unified Communication application.
• Usage are varied and far-reaching.
• Organisation adopt Unified Communications primarily because of cost saving.
• Unified Communications not only brought along operational efficiencies but also provide a real source of competitive advantage.
