AgileAIR = New Capabilities
For medical personnel, instant access to important information and updates can make a significant difference in patient outcomes. For patients and their families, wireless access provides a way to remain connected during a difficult time. For healthcare facilities, the ability to easily and cost-effectively deploy ubiquitous wireless network capabilities can be a significant point of differentiation and an attractive feature for prospective medical staff, researchers, and the communities they serve.
More secure - Mesh router traffic is impenetrable
Faster to deploy - No need for costly cabling or leasing of T1/E1 lines; easily deployed in places where cabling is impossible, such as historical buildings
Scaleable and versatile - Extends your network; can
be expanded, reduced, or moved in a fraction of the time of wired or
CAT5 wireless networks; indoor and outdoor applications equally feasible
Less expensive - No costly cabling or fiber installation; no leasing of T1/E1 lines
Reliable - More reliable than your wired network
Easy to manage - Instantaneous, self-configuring; intuitive web-based interface

Deploy Quickly and Cost Effectively
High capital equipment, infrastructure displacement and rebuilding, and ongoing maintenance costs can put wireless networks out of reach for cost-sensitive healthcare facilities. Now however, AgileAIR wireless mesh networks reduce the need to buy costly network switches, pull cable, or lay fiber. The mesh routers can be deployed wherever there is a standard AC outlet and they provision themselves and configure the wireless mesh upon being plugged in. An instantly provisioning wireless mesh network enables healthcare facilities to:
Enable campus-wide secure public and private networks for medical and emergency staff, faculty, interns, medical students, administrators, and support staff
Cost-effectively connect all areas of the hospital to provide Internet access for doctors, nurses, clinicians, technicians, patients and their families
Connect and mobilize important diagnostic, monitoring, and treatment equipment for use wherever needed  Create temporary networks for meetings, presentations, educational sessions, short-term staff offices, and even casualty and disaster situations
Extend areas of support for Wi-Fi based phone calls
Quickly and easily connect related offices and facilities surrounding the main medical campus, such as diagnostic facilities, research labs, out-patient facilities, pharmacies, the offices of doctors who have hospital privileges on-site, community-based care organizations, and related social services offices
Enable access in brick, historic, and other buildings where traditional Ethernet or fiber cabling would damage a building's historic integrity or aesthetics
Improve Surveillance Monitoring
With round-the-clock activity, medical complexes have a high volume of transient traffic. Visitors and caregivers alike can be vulnerable to potential criminal activity. AgileAIR mesh routers can cost-effectively enhance security measures by extending surveillance capabilities almost anywhere. Wherever there is an AC power outlet parking lots and parking garages, labs, walkways between buildings, courtyards, at information kiosks, public transportation waiting areas, and areas surrounding event venues the AgileAIR wireless mesh router can route live images from a security camera.
As a broadband mesh network, AgileAIR enables delivery of real-time video, allowing security personnel to monitor sites from any location. With low incremental cost, extra mesh routers can be located at common boundaries with local law enforcement's jurisdiction to greatly increase security and monitoring effectiveness.
Mobilize Resources
With AgileAIR wireless solutions, healthcare facilities can establish an instant network for transmitting critical data within the hospital. Battery powered mesh routers can even be placed on carts with medical devices and moved from location to location maintaining their network connections at all times.
Create Instant Internet Access Points
AgileAIR wireless mesh networks are ideal for extending high-speed wireless access to:
Public areas, such as waiting rooms, cafeterias, lobbies, conference rooms, and patient lounges
Operating rooms and viewing galleries
Emergency rooms
Clinical trial networks
Temporary networks
