1. Planning: 

• Needs Assessment: Determine the requirements based on the organization's size, growth, and usage.

• Scope Definition: Define the network size, type (LAN, WAN, WLAN), security needs, and scalability requirements.

• Budgeting: Allocate funds for hardware, software, labor, and potential contingencies.

• Resource Identification: Identify the necessary hardware (routers, switches, cables, etc.) and software.

2. Site Survey:

• Physical Assessment: Visit the location to analyze the physical layout for network installation .

• Infrastructure Evaluation: Inspect power sources, internet connectivity, and physical space for networking devices.

3. Network Design:

• Topology Design: Choose the appropriate network topology (star, mesh, bus, etc.) that fits the organization’s needs.

• IP Addressing Plan: Plan and allocate IP addresses for devices and subnets.

4. Procurement:

• Hardware and Software Purchase: Procure necessary networking devices, cables, routers, switches, firewalls, and required software licenses.

• Vendor Selection: Choose reliable vendors and contractors for hardware purchase and installation services.

5. Installation:

• Cabling: Install and configure the physical cables (Ethernet, fiber optic, etc.) and outlets as per the design .

• Configuration: Set up and configure routers, switches, firewalls, and any other network devices.

• Security Implementation: Implement security protocols, firewalls, encryption, and access controls.

6. Testing:

• Connectivity Testing: Test network connectivity and data transmission across all devices.

• Performance Testing: Assess the network’s performance under load and stress testing scenarios.

• Security Testing: Verify the effectiveness of security measures by conducting penetration testing.

7. Training and Documentation:

• User Training: Train IT staff or end-users on network usage, troubleshooting, and best practices.

• Documentation: Prepare network diagrams, configuration details, user guides, and maintenance manuals.

8. Implementation:

• Deployment: Roll out the network installation in phases or at the specified time with minimal disruption to operations.

• Monitoring: Monitor the network post-implementation to address any performance or security issues.

9. Maintenance and Support:

• Regular Maintenance: Schedule routine checks, updates, and patches to keep the network running smoothly.

• Technical Support: Provide ongoing technical support and troubleshoot issues as they arise.
