Mayo Clinic deploys Cisco wireless network solution
Written by Anonymous on 1:03 AMCisco has announced that Mayo Clinic, a non profit medical practice group, has deployed its unified wireless network to improve its patient care.
The network encompasses more than 3,000 Cisco access points, Cisco 4400 series controllers and the Cisco wireless services module for the Catalyst 6500; delivering a broad set of healthcare mobility applications to its population of approximately 40,000 physicians, nurses and staff within its three US-based campuses.
In addition, Mayo will begin evaluating Cisco's 802.11n Aironet 1250 series access points to enable a broader set of new mobility applications across its facilities. Cisco has also announced that Mayo Clinic received its five millionth Aironet access point, which began shipping in 2000.
In addition to wireless data access for its 5,000 mobile users, Mayo has equipped approximately 1,000 users with wireless voice over IP phones, enabling better mobile collaboration between doctors, nurses and hospital staff, helping ensure that tasks like physician information entry can be accomplished in real time at a patient's bedside.
Ben Gibson, senior director of mobility solutions at Cisco, said: "We are committed to helping our customers meet and exceed their business objectives by transforming their wireless infrastructures into true mobility networks. In the case of Mayo Clinic, we're enabling a broader set of mobility solutions that can help improve the overall patient experience."
