Wireless access to data enables physicians and other caregivers to have the latest patient diagnostic, monitoring, and lab information immediately and easily accessible. Building facility-wide wireless networks that can connect staff and equipment to information systems has not been easy however. Now, WWWT instant mesh networks enable hospitals, clinics, research labs, and other healthcare facilities to quickly, unobtrusively, and cost-effectively create hot zones that deliver data exactly where it is needed.
Today's healthcare industry is connecting caregivers with critical data; linking diagnostic and treatment equipment; and integrating insurance information with back-end billing systems to improve treatment accuracy, reduce costs, and accelerate treatment. High volumes of data are also generated from diagnostic and treatment equipment as it is moved from room to room - and from facility to facility. And because multiple caregivers are often involved in patient care, having the correct data available to all of them simultaneously is imperative.
In addition to providing immediate medical care, healthcare facilities also rely on data for administrative and operational purposes. Assuring safety in parking areas, coordinating emergency operations, and maximizing operational efficiency are important concerns. For these reasons, wireless networks have become critical components of hospital information systems.
However, traditional wireless network infrastructures have frequently been cost-prohibitive for all but the largest healthcare facilities. Today, many healthcare facilities instead choose WWWT instant mesh networks. WWWT HotPortTM wireless mesh nodes quickly and easily create a wireless mesh network, eliminating the need for traditional wired Ethernet backhaul. Simply plug HotPort wireless mesh nodes into a power source and they self-configure, quickly and cost-effectively creating a wireless mesh network that can cover a entire healthcare facility, just teaching and conference rooms, operating and emergency areas, and even outdoor venues such as parking areas. A WWWT instant wireless mesh network eliminates the need to run costly, disruptive LAN cabling or underground wire. As a result, healthcare facilities can bring wireless data access anywhere it is needed, quickly and for a fraction of the cost of a traditional wired network.
GET ALL THESE ADVANTAGES
- · Coverage where needed - extend existing network coverage indoors and outdoors - from the admissions desk to the ambulance bay; between multiple buildings; or for temporary uses such as in connecting mobile diagnostic units to hospital radiology labs or providing printing capabilities or Internet access to blood drive vehicles.
- · Internet access and more - Easily provide high-speed Internet access as well as connectivity for any Ethernet device - such as PCs, printers, access points, and medical equipment - without running miles of cabling.
- · Temporary networks - WWWT mesh network flexibility enables you to quickly create a temporary network and then tear it down, move it, or extend it.
- · Security and surveillance - a WWWT wireless mesh network is ideal for enhancing safety and premises surveillance. Ethernet surveillance cameras can be installed where needed and connected to a HotPort wireless mesh node for delivering real-time feeds to a central monitoring area over the WWWT broadband network.
