The healthcare industry is now emerging as a leader in adopting mobile and wireless technology. According to the 2006 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Leadership Survey, 32 percent of information technology executives that participated cited implementing wireless systems as a top five IT priority.
Healthcare environments present unique challenges for implementing wireless technology. Interference from hospital equipment, aging buildings, stringent security concerns, and thicker coverage requirements for wireless voice systems require a well planned wireless design and implementation. In addition, healthcare organizations must find a way to deploy wireless access points without disrupting patient care.
Cumulus has successfully completed hundreds of mobile and wireless projects in hospitals across the country. From network analysis to wireless remediation, Cumulus engineers have helped some of the most recognized names in healthcare with successful deployments.
 | Network Security - Privacy of Information
Ensuring that a wireless network is secure in a healthcare environment where threats are constantly evolving requires proper network design. Security is critical in network and information availability, and is a key design element for any healthcare organization.
| | Wireless Site Survey
The site survey process ensures that the deployed wireless network will meet or exceed performance and reliability requirements. This is especially important when implementing wireless VoIP systems. Our unique approach and one of a kind survey report provides the foundation for a successful wireless deployment.
| | Wireless VoIP Readiness Assessment
Wireless VoIP as a networked application introduces unique requirements and stresses for healthcare organizations on WLAN design. Wireless LAN’s designed to support more traditional devices and applications often fail to meet the requirements of Wireless VoIP applications, leading to unacceptable performance. Cumulus has extensive experience designing new wireless deployments and remediating existing implementations that support voice traffic.
