Healthcare

The Healthcare industry is a dynamic and complex environment demanding ever-evolving requirements from the local network.  Mergers and Acquisitions, and expansions are constantly challenging IT administrators to build new, flexible networks.  New applications, new technologies, and new tools are creating an increasing need for more bandwidth.  At the same time, health care costs are rising quickly, and patient relations, including privacy concerns as well as the rapidly expanding record-keeping requirements, are becoming more important and difficult to manage. All these factors combine to create difficult challenges for the IT staff.  

MRV provides solutions to these problems through a variety of products.  Our modular and fixed-form OptiSwitch™ Ethernet switching and routing products are flexible and scalable, providing a cost-effective method of aggregating data from offices and treatment rooms.  These switches all provide high-security through 802.1Q VLANs and other methods.  The OptiSwitch family also provides full Quality-of-Service to allow delay-sensitive applications, like remote video or remote surgery to operate without fear of conflict with other, lower priority data. Our products are also easy to deploy and manage.  The MegaVision Web™ Network Management System provides a complete solution for managing all MRV and other 3rd party products with a Web-based interface.

In many cases, hospitals operate on multi-building campuses.  Today, many of these facilities, even though they are very close together, are inter-connected through a low-speed WAN connection, using T1 or E1 technology, or are not connected at all.  It is difficult and often impractical to run fiber-optic cabling from building to building.  When this is the case, the MRV TereScope™ line of Free-Space Optics (FSO) products provides a quick and easy solution for delivering huge bandwidth quickly, at very attractive prices, between buildings.  With only line-of-site as a requirement, FSO technology creates a high-speed network interconnect (up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds), making two or more facilities act as a single large network.

For Healthcare networks, reliability is a mission-critical (sometimes life-critical) requirement.  MRV provides extremely reliable, robust equipment, together with a vast array of redundancy technologies, from dual fiber-optic interfaces and hot-swappable line-interface cards to fast fail-over protocols such as Rapid Spanning Tree.  MRV products provide a complete, cost effective, secure and reliable solution to the challenges facing Healthcare networks.
