Because of the network must support speeds of up to 100 Mbps and the network should be as secure as possible from electronic eavesdropping. To stay within TVBCA’s budgets, the network should also be as inexpensive as possible.

3. B – The proposed solution delivers the required results and only one of the two optional desired results. Because of the cable use to the network is a UTP category 5 to be able to reduced the cost.

4. B – The proposed solution delivers the required results and only one of the two optical desired results.

5. C - The proposed solution delivers the required results but neither of the optional desired results.
