scalability

Overview Located in eastern Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network (LVHHN) serves the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton as well as the surrounding communities. For over a decade, LVHHN has relied on Nortel to diagnose its requirements for data and voice, wired and wireless networking. Since turning up its first enterprise-wide data network in 1993, LVHHN has stayed with Nortel because they get the reliability, scalability and capability - including wireless - that they need across multiple campuses. By engaging Nortel Global Services for network implementation, they have also received the on-site support and personal attention for the necessary upgrades along the way. And Nortel advanced voice solutions provide unified messaging for doctors while enabling different departments to handle an ever-increasing volume of calls as facilities expand.
