Health Care

Health care is becoming more and more sophisticated and personalized, with increased imaging capabilities and growing use of remote diagnostic tools networked to central services. This is driving demand for bandwidth to regional hospitals, medical centers, emergency services, and other distributed sites that are often not within reach of fiber and rely on E1/T1 leased  lines, fractional E1/T1 Internet access, or dial-up services that are connected via a legacy TDM network. Additionally, HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations covering fraud and abuse within health care stipulate that medical records in the U.S. should be kept in secure, offsite locations, adding further fuel to access bandwidth demands.

Legacy access services, often based on E1/T1 or even dial-up connections, are unable to step up to meet these demands without expensive and disruptive infrastructure upgrades. Actelis EFM platform offer service providers an alternative, an option to profitably and economically replace these legacy E1/T1 based services with advanced high bandwidth highly reliable Ethernet over copper services, which can reach up to 10miles/16Km from central offices with the aid of XR239 Repeaters available from Actelis. Using these new Ethernet over copper services Health care locations can provides the bandwidth necessary to support medical imaging equipment efficiently centralize record storage, streamlining compliance with patient privacy regulations like HIPPA.
