USA Mobility Develops I-Land Campus-Based Private Messaging SolutionNov 09, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- USA Mobility, Inc., a provider of wireless messaging and communications services, announced the availability of a campus-based two-way messaging network, called I-Land, which provides two-way messaging throughput within a campus area combined with the ability for users to roam onto the Company's wide-area network when off campus. "At a time when local governments are facing tight budget constraints, they are now able to implement a private messaging system covering their jurisdiction that will satisfy their need for emergency messaging," said Vincent D. Kelly, president and CEO. "And, in doing so, they will be able to avoid the capital and operating expenses of building and managing an in-house paging capability." Initially targeted for larger hospital facilities and local governments, I-Land eliminates the need for hospitals to use separate wireless networks, one for time-critical in-house messaging, such as code messages, and another for paging applications where broad coverage is more important. The I-Land system is compliant with HIPAA regulations that ensure patient privacy. ((Comments on this story may be sent to [email protected])) [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ] |
