As healthcare enterprises move to real-time healthcare systems (RTHSs) and cloud-based IT models, they need more flexible and agile networks. As a result, many enterprises are re-evaluating their networking needs, particularly for wide area networks (WANs) that connect main hospitals, clinics, and healthcare sites. Healthcare enterprises also need more cost-effective and efficient solutions to connect smaller healthcare sites, as well as secure internet and mobile connectivity. This will enable remote monitoring and telemedicine for patients and community-based healthcare workers.
