BTHS 5G “Untethered” Project-Part 1 Communicating Techniques and Technology November 13, 2015 BTHS 5G “Untethered” Project-Part 1 (Small Group) Presentation and Cut Sheet (50-point writing-presentation grade) Now that you are getting ready to graduate, you’ve been asked by the school to make a recommendation to revolutionize wireless communication capabilities on the BTHS campus in support of all the Chromebooks and devices carried by students. You love your new wireless devices and their multimedia capabilities, and think they would be a great enhancement to the educational environment of the school. However, the current network has insufficient bandwidth and security. You’ve heard rumors about a next generation wireless capability that will have even more possibilities for education than today’s wireless devices and network. Find out what is possible, when it’s available, how much it will cost, how long it will take to implement, how many resources it will require, and why we should do it.

BTHS 5G “Untethered” Project-Part 1 Communicating Techniques and Technology November 13, 2015 BTHS 5G “Untethered” Project-Part 1 (Small Group) Presentation and Cut Sheet (50-point writing-presentation grade) Step 1: You research the subject of 5G wireless for education using the Internet, trade journals, vendor websites, and government organizations (FCC, CCITT). You will determine what is possible and in what timeframe (over the next two years). Step 2: You incorporate the information into a presentation and technical “cut sheet” or brochure (no more than two, glossy, color pages) for the MCVSD District IT Group: explaining the technical highlights and benefits of the new wireless for the school and the district. You must also address security issues, as this will be a major concern of the IT Group. You will observe the principles of technical writing, page layout, and document design, as discussed in class. Step 3: You will then present to the IT Group, using appropriate media and distributing the cut sheet.
