Ethernet Vertical Case Study – Healthcare
Reliable connectivity is the backbone of modern healthcare. Access to patient data, the ability to communicate with multiple locations, and the need to collaborate with other providers is the day-to-day reality of today’s healthcare facilities. Spotty connectivity can have serious consequences.
Transforming Healthcare with Frontier Private Ethernet
To support healthcare’s reliance on fast, secure connectivity, healthcare facilities are implementing advanced networking solutions like Ethernet technology to help support top quality patient care.
Frontier Ethernet solutions deliver a private, secure network separate from the public Internet. This eliminates performance problems associated with other technologies and shared bandwidth, ensuring the doctors, clinical staff and administrators have the connectivity they need to:
- Deliver an improved patient and employee experience
- Give nurses and physicians confidence to adopt enterprise-level electronic health records
- Facilitate digital engagement between healthcare locations
- Acquire other facilities using legacy IT platforms and networks
- Provide high bandwidth with low latency and scalability for telemedicine and large file transfers (such as x-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and more)
- Keep patient information private and secure according to industry regulations
Choose the right Ethernet solution for you
- EPL (Ethernet Private Line) provides point-to-point connection between two locations (such as a hospital and datacenter).
- EVPL (Ethernet Virtual Private Line) uses a hub-and-spoke topology where a central site (a hospital) acts as a hub to other locations (such as remote clinics) that are spokes.
- E-LAN is an any-to-any topology connecting multiple healthcare sites to each other, ensuring widescale access to medical data while maintaining security and privacy.
