It’s that time of year again and some of us Ruckus folks soon will head out with our CommScope co-workers to the Defense Health Agency’s annual Defense Health Information Technology Symposium (DHITS), taking place July 30-August 1 in Orlando.
We all look forward to DHITS because it brings together government, military, and industry IT professionals to share ideas about providing the best service possible in military healthcare. As we see it, our role is to provide wired and wireless networks such that medical staff and patients never think about it. Like utilities, most people don’t notice when everything is working great – but everyone knows when service goes out. When you’re dealing with healthcare facilities, outages are unacceptable.
In healthcare, any network outage can have a direct impact
on patients. With the regular use of digital and video in medicine today, even
latency can cause significant challenges in service delivery. We are proud of
our work with military medicine because we follow the highest standards for
wired and wireless. Even an outage on a hospital’s guest Wi-Fi is more than an
inconvenience when people need to communicate about medical treatment or the
condition of loved ones.
It’s these same principles of excellence that have made Ruckus products popular in military healthcare. Because of the durability and longevity of Ruckus switches and access points, we’ve had steady growth in partnering with the Defense Health Agency and other government healthcare organizations. In 2005, Ruckus technology-supported four military hospitals; today we are in 75.
What we’re showcasing at the Defense Health IT Symposium
In terms of DHITS, we have a number of recent updates that
we are excited to share with those attending the event, including:
CommScope. Now that Ruckus is part of CommScope, we can offer the full scope of wired and wireless infrastructure, from switches to cabling to software, enabling us to provide full campus connectivity and reliability at military hospitals around the world – all from one company.
