According to Nortel, the service, built on its unified communications-ready infrastructure, provides faster diagnosis and treatment of more than 30,000 patients annually. This is facilitated by a 10G ethernet backbone with Nortel Split Multi-Link Trunking technology that connects three locations in the region of Ieper-Poperinge, Belgium to function as a single campus with no single point-of-failure.
In addition, the Nortel wireless LAN allows clinical systems to transmit test results, alarms, alerts and other information directly to notebooks, PDAs and VoWLAN handsets. These and other networked devices can also be used for on-demand access to vital patient information such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds and medical histories.
Nortel’s services for Jan Yperman include core, backbone and desktop switches from the Nortel ethernet routing switch portfolio for 10G backbone transport and one-gigabit desktop connectivity; security switches and access points from the Nortel WLAN portfolio for nurse and clinician mobility; and Nortel’s collaborative clinical solution.
Dietmar Wendt, president for global services at Nortel, said: We’ve provided them with a comprehensive solution that includes not only technology but also the services and support they need to keep their network performing at peak efficiency for maximum return on investment.
