To provide telemedicine faculty in a hilly state, a computer network is to be set up to connect hospitals in 6 small villages (VI, V2, …, V6) to the base hospital (H) in the state capital. This is shown in the following diagram.
No village is more than 20 km away from the state capital.
Imagine yourself as a computer consultant for this project and answer the following questions with justification:
1. Out of the following what kind of link should be provided to setup this network: Microwave link, Radio Link, Wired Link ?
2. What kind of network will be formed; LAN, MAN, or WAN ?
3. Many times doctors at a village hospital will have to consult senior doctors at the base hospital. For this purpose, how should they contact them: using email, sms, telephone, or video conference ?
