Healthcare providers, from local clinics to hospital systems, need network connectivity that will keep critical infrastructure online and secure. Fiber internet is built for the future in a way that legacy systems can’t match.
Why fiber internet?
Fiber-optic networks can transmit huge amounts of data at virtually the speed of light. Fiber internet’s symmetrical speeds mean instantaneous uploads and downloads and minimal lag. With high bandwidth and dedicated connections, fiber internet ensures consistent performance without slowdowns.
Fiber internet is an upgrade from legacy cable technology, which was designed for one-way television transmission. Fiber connectivity is more durable, more reliable, more scalable, faster and overall built for the future.
Why fiber-optic internet is the best choice for medical establishments
If you’re involved with healthcare leadership or IT for a medical facility, you understand the critical importance of secure and reliable connectivity. Fiber internet is built to handle the future of medical management, like telehealth, record keeping and integration of smart tools for patient care.
Here are a few key points about the benefits of fiber connectivity for medical and healthcare establishments:
- Symmetrical upload/download speeds. Equally fast upload and download speeds are essential for video conferencing, telemedicine, remote diagnostics and uploading large medical files.
- High bandwidth. Fiber internet provides a tremendous amount of bandwidth to support simultaneous users, devices and applications without slowing down.
- Low lag. Fiber internet offers lag-free video conferencing and real-time remote monitoring, plus smoother connectivity for internal systems, like scheduling and billing.
- Scalability. Fiber internet solutions are made to handle emerging technologies and IoT-enabled devices in smart hospitals, and they can expand as your needs grow.
