ITN has been working with several healthcare related firms over the past few years with great success.  ITN has installed MERU Networks wireless equipment in many different healthcare facilities ranging from a small doctor office to a regional hospital serving multiple floors and hundreds of users & patients.  One of our first clinics to adopt the MERU Wireless product had cycled through other brands such as Cisco and Aruba with poor results.  These products had failed to perform at the level required for accuracy of data input, proper coverage, interference, and most important to the doctors at this clinic, ease and consistency of connection.  It’s unfortunate that they purchased inferior solutions twice but the good news is that this clinic was still willing and interested to depend on wireless for their architecture.  Four years later, the MERU Networks system in this clinic is still performing flawlessly.  With Meru, healthcare organizations can ensure that physicians and caregivers stay continuously connected throughout the hospital, with toll-quality voice and seamless roaming. Meru supports critical mobile applications at the point of care, enabling hospitals to confidently deploy innovative solutions for mobile access to patient records, patient monitoring, dosage verification, voice, and asset tracking. Easy to deploy and simple to manage, they deliver the industry’s best user experience with low total cost of ownership.

The iPad, another WLAN device on ITN’s MERU wireless network!

A week or two ago, the iPad was launched.  Most folks saw the size, performance, and well thought out features of the iPad as the immediate draws.  At ITN, the iPad suggests to us another serious movement towards mobility.  The iPad has the ability to connect to all four recognized WiFi standards;  A/B/G/N.  HP and other major manufacturers working on their tablet sized computers suggest clearly that our future is about mobility and that these mobile devices will need to connect at greater and greater speeds and performance.  That is where the “enterprise level” wireless LAN from MERU Networks and ITN comes in!  Imagine an educational environment or office environment where collaborative work can be done without being constrained to your desk.  This new mobile environment will require the strongest and best in wireless connectivity including slice of time fairness, QOS rated voice, virtual cell technology, and air traffic control functionality of controller based traffic.
