Computer giants Dell Computer of Round Rock, TX; Intel of Santa Clara, CA; and Mobile Computing of Mississauga, Ontario, have teamed up to launch a new service to assess, design, and validate the quality and coverage of wireless networks in healthcare facilities.
The new Mobile Point of Care (MPOC) Wireless Assessment service enables healthcare providers to assess whether their wireless network is reliable and can provide 100% coverage and 24/7 access to patient information. The MPOC service provides wired and wireless network analysis, design, and validation to help ensure customers have a robust wireless network, Dell said.
MPOC includes radiofrequency spectrum analysis and detection tools to discover interference on existing networks; wireless network design that uses network modeling and tools to develop network design architecture, enabling the proper construction and placement of wireless network components; and network validation analysis.
In announcing the service, Dell said that by 2010, 80% of hospitals are expected to have a wireless network, investing close to $10 billion in the next five years.
