this is example of network design for stadium company

1. 1
Stadium Company Network

2. The Stadium Company Project
Is a sports facility management company that manages a
stadium. Stadium Company needs to upgrade its existing
computer network to provide state-of-the-art services. To do
this, Stadium Company outlines a three-phase project.
First Phase – Stadium Company is contracting with
Networking Company, a local Cisco business partner to, to
