Unit II Discussion Board QuestionCOLLAPSE

You have been tasked to create a wireless network for a medium-size client. The wireless network will be put in place throughout the warehouse and the design and engineering departments. The price to rewire the network with fiber is cost prohibitive, and the distance between the wiring closet and the buildings exceeds the standard length for CAT6E Ethernet cabling.You have built wireless networks in the past and have had great success using the Cisco Aironet 1530 Series. Your client is concerned about the final numbers you have included with your proposal and reminds you that there is a cap on the budget for this project.Your hardware vendor responds and tells you that there is a cheaper option to go with, the Aironet 1240 Series. This is a brand-new Cisco product, and Cisco is offering a deep discount with its initial release. The cost savings are impressive, but you know nothing about this new product. Your senior manager overrides your judgment and agrees with the client that you should go with the new Cisco Aironet 1240 Series. You are concerned about the liability with purchasing an untried product. How can you balance the needs of the client while, at the same time, reducing your liability? Discuss your rationale.
