Data
Due to trends like aging populations, medical advances, and new technologies, healthcare providers require versatile networking solutions that can adapt to change without substantial costs. They need standards-based systems to avoid interoperability issues with legacy or future systems. They must integrate disparate databases and consolidate information systems for greater efficiency. Their networks should support the delivery of care where and when it is needed across a range of devices and locations.
Moreover, providers' networks must scale cost-effectively to support new users and future generations of medical and business applications. They need to provide bandwidth and functionality as needed to deliver web-based systems, telemedicine, and other healthcare innovations. Their solutions must be resilient and always available, ensuring the continuity of essential medical services. When disaster does strike, they must be able to restore communications very rapidly.
  
Voice
To enhance the responsiveness of federal agencies, during both normal operations and emergencies, all employees, regardless of their locations, require reliable, function-rich access to the enterprise telephony system. Agencies must integrate every site into the voice infrastructure, including even personnel at home or on the road. Federal telephony solutions need to be open, standards-based platforms that can easily support emerging applications and functionality while protecting initial investments. They should be dependable and resilient, avoiding any disruptions to mission-critical communications. To anticipate contingencies, ideal systems will also be simple and quick to install.
Wireless
To ensure their data and voice services are flexible, federal agencies should consider the wireless networking used in the private sector. These solutions can extend a LAN far more quickly and affordably than wired systems. They enable employees who use productivity-enhancing tools like laptop computers and handheld devices to access the network while roaming about facilities. They allow agencies to link the LANs of local buildings without costly cabling. With their versatility and rapid deployment, wireless solutions also are essential for disaster recovery strategies. To be effective, however, these systems must be highly secure to safeguard government business and standards-based to integrate seamlessly with existing networks.
