5 Hiroshima City Hospital:
CHALLENGE: Radiology department
The Radiology Department adopted a radiology batch control system to transport CT images and diagnostic reports
With sensitive patient data at-hand, it became essential to have “uninterrupted network service;” ensuring positive healthcare communication and long-term patient care.
SOLUTION:
Highly resilient Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure to create a redundant network.
In addition, the department selected Allied Telesis’ “SwitchBlade 5400S” to ensure network consistency and establish high-resiliency of network elements.
6 Nagoya Ekisaikai Hospital
CHALLENGE: Electronic Record System
Nagoya Ekisaikai Hospital was looking to deploy an electronic healthcare record system
Additionally, the Hospital wanted a mission-critical gigabit network to maintain this Critical Care System.
SOLUTION:
Using L2 plus switches, the Hospital was able to create a high-speed switched LAN backbone in each segment and leveraged L3 switches to manage routing between segments, for high-speed interconnects with the server farm.

Japanese Red Cross Kitami Hospital
CHALLENGE:
To ensure electronic health records could be shared among the regional institutions,
Japanese Red Cross Kitami Hospital had to ensure internal networks were replaced with high-speed, high-broadband backbone.
SOLUTION:
Gigabit Ethernet Switching solution was deployed ensuring a highly-reliable, scalable, and secure network.
8 Versailles Hospital System (800 beds)
CHALLENGE:
Wireless system for Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS)
Large file sizes 90MB High reliability and mobility
SOLUTION:
Deployment of Allied Telesis/Extricom channel blanket wireless solution.
“Hitless” roaming wireless solution far superior to standard WiFi
