Answer to Question 1

Type of Medium Security Transmission Distance Cost Error Potential Difficulty of Installation
Radio Low Short Low Moderate Moderate
Terrestrial Microwave Low Long Moderate Low to Moderate Low to Moderate

Answer to Question 2

Cost. Cost includes not only the materials, but also the labor for installation, which is often one of the most expensive elements in implementation.

Bandwidth. What are the data speed requirements? Bandwidth should be based on business needs. Which medium provides sufficient bandwidth to support organizational requirements?

Security. Is security critical, or just desirable?

Transmission impairment. What level of transmission impairment can be tolerated? What physical environment will the medium be placed into?

Distance. Does the medium need to provide transmission between rooms in a building or between states or provinces in a country? Is the medium for a LAN, BN, MAN, or WAN?
