SmartPath Wireless: Applications
Hospitals and healthcare.
Hospitals are trying to improve efficiencies and reduce costs, and
as a result, IT is expected to do more with less. SmartPath makes it
happen. It enables you to more cost-effectively bring high-speed wireless
networking to all areas of your facility. Simultaneously, you can better
support core care while trimming IT equipment and operational expenses.
Because it supports higher speeds and 802.11n connectivity, SmartPath
greatly assists the mobility of today’s caregivers and the growing use of
networked imaging and video in patient care. What’s more, the
distributed yet centrally manageable architecture can handle large
amounts of traffic and provide fast data availability to clinicians.
SmartPath is great for deploying wireless across an entire health
system with Wi-Fi coverage in every building — including seamless
roaming. Nurses and physicians can have access to critical applications
and information from patients’ bedsides.
Segment access, too. Give visitors Internet access while allowing staff
both Web and secure access to the private hospital network. Go further
and create VLANs within a wireless network to allow only certain staff
access to medical records. Allow patients to securely connect to the
Internet without the fear of them getting into your network.
SmartPath's mesh technology enables direct AP-to-AP communications,
so there‘s no need to cable to switches in ORs and other “clean areas.”
The mesh technology also works well in older hospitals with concrete
walls, where other RF products fail.
