1. Executive Summary TIME dotCom Berhad (TIME) which was incorporated as a public company in 1996, and listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia in 2001, is a telecommunication licensee which offers full suite of telecommunication services to both the domestic and international markets, from voice and data communications to dial-up and broadband Internet provision, payphones and multimedia solutions. It has an extensive fiber optic infrastructure across the country, and provides services via building-centric approach. The infrastructure forms a network connecting telecommunication facilities installed in selected commercial buildings which then are called “Ready-For-Service” (RFS) buildings to provide services to the tenants within the buildings. Issues arise when the management of the business activities inside these buildings is ineffectively and inefficiently planned and executed. These issues exist throughout the management process, and require a new integrated way of managing the activities to eliminate those issues. The framework proposed in this project is not only to mitigate these issues but also to ensure no other issues arise pertaining to RFS buildings, and improve the existing building management practice. From the assessment done, the benefits gained from implementing 2. Introduction TIME dotCom Berhad (TIME) was incorporated as a public company on 11 December 1996, and was listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia on 12 March 2001. TIME has full suite of telecommunications licenses which enable it to offer services to both the domestic and international markets, from voice and data communications to dial-up and broadband Internet provision, payphones and multimedia solutions. As new technology brings about convergence in voice, data and multimedia technologies, TIME dotcom is set to harness the synergies of various products and services to package and offer innovative and efficient solutions to its various customers at highly competitive pricing. In offering and delivering these services, TIME has structured its networks in building-centric approach whereby buildings are networked together on a single platform via fiber optic and copper cables. These buildings are conditioned with the telecommunication facilities which provide the capacities and the necessary bandwidths required to deliver the services. These buildings which are called “Ready-For –Service” (RFS) buildings can be multi-tenant or single-tenant commercial buildings, shop-lots, shopping complexes, and residential houses. All domestic sales efforts are confined mainly in these buildings. This is because the buildings have the required facilities and capacities to provision the service according to the promised timeframe (service provisioning period). It also enables the company to control its capital expenditures within the budget approved in the business plan.
The primary problem would be the structure of the organization. This is due to the fact that there are thirteen departments in total which would lead to the failure of the ability to concentrate on long term viability of the business.

We all know that the daily commute can be very long and frustrating. Traffic can often cause long delays. These delays cause stress to you, your boss and the coworkers that have to cover for you until you make it into the office. Today there is a new highway that everyone can use to get to work. The delays on this highway are measured in microseconds rather than hours. It is the Information Superhighway. The Information Superhighway has the ability to connect together every computer in every part of the world. This kind of access allows individuals to do research, marketing, communications, sales and a wide range of other tasks normally completed at the office, from the comfort and convenience of their own home. This was the basic principle that started a new trend in business known as telecommuting. This paper will give you the information you need to have a good understanding of what telecommuting is and why it is becoming so popular. In addition, it will discuss how businesses design telecommuting jobs, how they work and how they are managed.
The Internet boom of the 1990’s gave rise to the popularity of America Online AOL and Time Warner saw themselves at a crossroads where old and new media would become one. The histories of both AOL and Time Warner are extensive and have not always been successful. Time Warner itself was created by two mega-mergers. The first merger was in 1989 between Time Inc., publisher of many magazines such as Time Magazine, and Warner Communications. Both companies have histories stretching as far back as 75 years or so. In 1996, this company merged with Turner Broadcasting, which brought CNN with its founder Ted Turner. These two mergers created a company ready to lead in any form of media. The company launched the HBO television network. Time Warner, headquartered in New York, had $27.3 billion in revenues in 1999 and a market value of $112.6 billion. On the other side of the merger there is new media giant AOL, today the biggest, richest, and most successful internet company in the world. It was founded in 1985 as Quantum Computer Services and by 1994, after changing its name, had a million subscribers. In its early years, it almost fell because of the problems associated with introducing unlimited access for a fixed monthly fee. As its number of users increased, so did its capacity problems, which made many customers angry because they could not get a connection. The problem was solved when AOL made a deal with MCI WorldCom, which led merge with its rival CompuServe.
Telecommunications gained mainstream attention in the early 90’s; however the initial key market was business men and women, who used their phones whilst being on the move and so allowing them to communicate with their companies with ease. Though in the modern era, telecommunication went through segmentation in the market trends, and now in this day and age it would be difficult to find someone who does not own some form of mobile technology. Many phone providers battle to provide the best service for their customers (Figure 1).
In addressing the problem, the proposed research will use the case study method to examine the plan, design, and implementation of WLAN technologies at Berean. At present, the non-wireless local area network (LAN) technologies employed by Berean include 10/100BaseT Ethernet at each desktop. Ethernet ports at the desktop are switch connected to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) T1 backbone. Berean¡¦s one remote facility connects to the network using switched Frame Relay services along with Internet Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections.

Assigning the precise amount of network capacity in the right place at the right time is no simple task. Network Planners cannot afford to overbuild, as this would consume scarce investment resources that could be better used elsewhere. They also cannot delay expansion as this may result in poor service to customers and under-utilize other network assets. A balanced approach is needed in order to meet the rapidly growing and changing traffic demands. Advanced network planning and design software provides benefit to network planners in the following ways:
