TMCNet: Poole Hospital deploys Alcatel-Lucent Wireless Local Area Network

[July 03, 2008]

Poole Hospital deploys Alcatel-Lucent Wireless Local Area Network

(Corporate IT Update Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Communications solutions provider Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris:ALU)
(NYSE:ALU) announced on Wednesday (2 July) that Poole Hospital NHS
Foundation Trust, located in Dorset, UK, is deploying an Alcatel-Lucent
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) to help improve patient care at its
789-bed hospital.

According to the company, the new network, to be installed by
Alcatel-Lucent Business Partner Khipu Networks, a UK-based advanced
systems integrator, will be used in association with printed patient
wristbands to ensure patient safety by automating blood donation
tracking and streamlining the process of dispensing drugs. In addition,
the new network improves bedside care by improving knowledge sharing
among the clinical staff with secure access to patient records and
hospital resources.

The new network is based on the Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess WLAN


technology. The initial rollout will provide up to 400 staff with
wireless access and is capable of supporting more than 10,000 devices,
the company claims.

In 2009, the Trust plans to add voice over IP (VoIP) to the wireless
network, which is expected to reduce the Trust's telephony costs. No
financial details were disclosed.
