Wireless LANs in Healthcare

The evolution of wireless technologies coupled with additional FCC unlicensed spectrum, have unleashed extraordinary “connected” opportunities for healthcare wireless local area networks (WLANs.) An abundance of new Wi-Fi enabled devices with innovative features, along with IoT/MIoT/M2M connected ecosystems are joining hospital wireless networks every day. As healthcare facilities experience bandwidth heavy, low-latency dependent applications, robust and resilient networks are critical in providing reliable connectivity performance and efficient operational support. It is important during the early stages of network planning to prepare for the needs of today, but also plan to support the demands of future generations of technologies.

This presentation will review challenges associated with deploying equipment and components in healthcare environments and problem-solving solutions for ensuring that the network edge components offer long-term performance, code-compliancy, and effective functional capability.
