Whats Next for El Centro Regional Medical Center and Aerohive?
In the future, the Aerohive wireless LAN will support many more wireless devices and applications. Physicians and clinicians will be issued handheld Symbol devices and tablet PCs for bedside use; VoWLAN will be deployed; RFID tracking will be implemented; and new bedside devices, including a bar code printing system for the hospital’s phlebotomists and network-connected I.V. pumps, will be put into service. Secure and convenient guest access to the wireless network will also be provided using Aerohive’s GuestManager, which would enable any authorized ECRMC employee to create guest network accounts via an intuitive Web interface. Later in 2008, ECRMC also plans to deploy the Vocera Communications System to provide hands-free voice communication throughout the ECRMC facility using the Aerohive wireless LAN. The sophisticated quality of service (QoS) capabilities of Aerohive’s access points will ensure optimal system performance.
