Healthcare

Hospitals and the healthcare community presents with a special set of requirements when it comes to the transportation of critical information and medical images.

Because of the high capacity bandwidth required to move large amounts of information as well as PACS (Picture Archival and Communication System) imaging files, fiber was the transportation medium of choice. But fiber is costly, requires months and even years to deploy and requires lengthy recurring cost contracts.

And that’s providing that fiber is even an option in your area!

The availability of extremely high capacity fixed wireless links with throughput speeds up to 6 Gbps full duplex (yes…each way), eliminates the need for costly fiber. A wireless system can be installed and operational in weeks with the same reliability of a fiber circuit.

Wireless Benefits:

  • Eliminates the recurring costs of fiber circuits.
  • Rapid deployment time.
  • Fully scalable throughput.
  • Transport Ethernet, video and voice traffic across the same circuit.
  • Extremely low latency (typically 300 us).
  • Extremely secure.

The transportation of all medical information must be secure and comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA). With AES 256 and FIPS 197 encryption, FIPS 140 encryption, as well as VLAN tagging, SNMP v3, and secure management interfaces over SSH and HTTPS your information is locked down tight.

The phone company doesn’t do that…..
