Extreme Networks Supports Wireless Mobility at Patient Bedside for St. Johannes Hospital

Tags:
ethernet

Overview St. Johannes Hospital in Troisdorf-Sieglar, Germany, with just over 400 staff members, has more than 182 beds and treats approximately 8,800 inpatients and as many outpatients each year. The Hospital Information System (HIS) was looking to create a virtually paperless hospital operations chain in addition to its existing implementation of PACS. Ideally, the intent was to have all patient information processed and stored digitally and made available to its staff whenever and wherever needed. The hospital deployed Extreme Networks for its infrastructure, with the redundancy provided by Extreme Standby Router Protocol (ESRP), a hot-standby failover mechanism for Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP networks.
