Versailles Hospital System Deploys Interference-Free Wireless LAN from Extricom
Unique Wi-Fi Technology Delivers Mobility and Massive Capacity for Wireless Digital Imaging Application

LONDON, UK, October 29, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mignot Hospital, an 800-bed facility within the Versailles Hospital System in France, announces the deployment of an Extricom Wireless LAN (WLAN), to mobilize patient data to the bedside and enable medical staff to achieve a new level of care, responsiveness and productivity. Extricom's Interference-Free system was chosen for its unmatched mobility, high-bandwidth, and multi-application flexibility.

At the heart of the project was the mobilization of the hospital's Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS), a tool that enables users to securely access digital images such as x-rays, in real-time, anywhere in the facility. In doing so, Versailles Hospital System can accelerate patient diagnosis and replace expensive film development.

"Simply put, we needed mobility with throughput. Physicians need to be able to access medical information everywhere," stated Herv Paris, Versailles Hospital System's director of IT. "We needed real mobility without dropped connections while downloading large, highly time-sensitive files, and Extricom was the only product that could accomplish that. And the same infrastructure had to be able to support any other applications we might choose to deploy."

The IT team at Versailles Hospital System realized that Extricom's Channel Blanket architecture would deliver the required flexibility, performance and investment protection. And the return on investment was immediate. After implementation by airmedis, a healthcare wireless IT integrator, the Extricom WLAN cut costs of digital imaging and boosted productivity dramatically, enabling doctors to do in less than two minutes what used to take thirty minutes.

"Extricom is ideal for a hospital environment," said Dan Kirtchuk, executive vice president of sales for Extricom. "Easy, rapid access to information, anywhere in the facility, is critical to quality of care, and Extricom is unique in its ability to deliver an always-on, mobile, and high-throughput wireless connection that rivals the wired network."
