MedStar Health has deployed wireless internet services to patients and visitors throughout its community-based network of hospitals together with Aptilo Networks, a provider of integrated management services for control of billing and access in WiMAX and Wi-Fi networks.
MedStar Health is using the Aptilo Guest Internet Services for Healthcare, an integrated, secure wireless guest internet access system. MedStar Health is utilizing Aptilo’s software-as-a-service option for delivery of wireless guest internet access services, the Aptilo Guest Internet Services. With this hosted solution, Aptilo operates the wireless broadband service from one of Aptilo’s Network Operation Centers.
Guest Provisioning Portal allows MedStar Health personnel to create accounts that are valid for longer periods and have a predefined start and end date. This functionality is designed for long-term visitors like medical students.
Catherine Szenczy, senior vice president and chief information officer of MedStar Health, said: This is a tremendous benefit to our patients and their families throughout the MedStar network. Aptilo’s solutions and services were the right choice for us, as Aptilo has the expertise and experience to manage large-scale deployments of guest internet services to hospitals.
