Hong Kong University's Faculty of Medicine Leverages LightPointe Optical Wireless to Beam High-Bandwidth Imaging and Video Files

Overview Founded in 1911, the University of Hong Kong (HKU) is one of the region's oldest universities. Its Hong Kong College of Western Medicine, which today is called the Faculty of Medicine (FOM), was established 24 years before the university's founding. The university was challenged to find a high-speed connectivity solution capable of supporting these bandwidth-intensive requirements for sending video and data files between facilities. FOM's IT team evaluated a variety of options including microwave radio, an existing campus Ethernet network, fiber-optic cable and ultimately, optical wireless. HKU ultimately selected the LightPointe FlightStrata 155E, a high-performance Optical Wireless system with full-duplex throughput of up to 1.55 Mbps.
