Executive Summary The Athlete’s Shack (TAS) is a company with ten stores in their chain of sporting goods stores. Due to increased popularity the business is growing and in need of a method of keeping all the stores connected. To resolve this issue they have decided to implement a wireless network that would connect all ten of their stores together. Of course there will be one location that will be the main location that links all the stores together and this will help them to manage their business by allowing them to keep track of sales and inventory. Along with connecting all the stores together TAS is also looking to implement wireless access points throughout the individual stores. This will allow employees at the stores that will be giving IPads to better serve the customers and complete their daily tasks at the store. For TAS this is a step in the right direction in improving communications, customer service, and enhancing their marketing capabilities among the ten stores. Before starting there are multiple aspects of implementing this type of service that must be considered. First it is necessary to determine if it is even possible to implement this type of service, the costs, and the steps that would be necessary to complete the installation. TAS has sought out the expertise of The Wireless Technology Company (WTC), to help resolve any issues that may arise in the planning and design
