• Secure, high-speed data capabilities ensure HIPPA compliance and fast access to patient records.
• Real-time bedside communications help prevent medication and blood transfusion errors.

Only Motorola Knows Healthcare Wireless Broadband Solutions Inside and Out

Wireless broadband and the healthcare industry are a perfect match. From matching medications at the bedside to prevent errors, to receiving a patient’s vitals from a speeding ambulance, to collaborating with prominent specialists via video conferencing, high-speed wireless networks are helping healthcare providers of all sizes improve care and save lives. Motorola’s portfolio of broadband solutions is globally proven to deliver the speed, access, reliability and security that help bring the best possible care to every patient.

Wi4 Fixed Solutions:

Point-to-Point (PTP) - Motorola’s wi4 Fixed PTP solutions provide the ideal technology for backhauling data and video files between two locations. Proven to deliver 99.999 percent availability and data rates up to 300 megabytes per second (Mbps), our PTP networks provide carrier-grade reliability for transmitting large volumes of information (such as MRI data or video) in both licensed and unlicensed frequencies. In addition, our PTP Ethernet bridges offer exceptional interference tolerance and can provide coverage across long distances, over water and around obstacles.

Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) - Wi4 Fixed PMP networks use unlicensed spectrum to deliver and support high-speed applications and connectivity. Healthcare providers use PMP networks to connect multiple locations—on a medical campus or within a more geographically scattered system—with the main complex. This high-speed connectivity enables collaborative telemedicine and delivers the anytime, anywhere communications crucial to restoring health and saving lives.
