Air-blown Fiber network infrastructure technology has been adopted by the Pentagon, Fortune 500 companies, the National Institutes of Health, the Mayo Clinic, Sharp HealthCare, and Penn State Hershey Health System, among others, but the technology is still largely unfamiliar to health care IT professionals.

Join these industry leaders as they relate their actual experience with Sumitomo’s Air-blown Fiber Infrastructure technology:

• Bill Spooner, Senior Vice President and CIO of Sharp HealthCare (9-time recipient of Hospitals & Health Networks’ Most Wired Hospitals Award)
• Dan Lewis, Director, Technical Services, Sharp HealthCare
• Sherry Mettley, IT Director of Infrastructure Engineering at Penn State Hershey Health System

Learn how this technology impacts patient safety, provides unprecedented speed and delivery, reduces network costs and delivers a continuous and dependable ROI.

Topics presented include the technology’s ability to provide:

• Immediate compliance with Joint Commission standards and the elimination of infectious disease control processes, while reducing hospital liability and ensuring patience safety.
  
  
• A hospital infrastructure that has no end to its life cycle, but is continuously renewable, which protects the network from obsolescence, while yielding ROI with every project.  (Actual ROI examples provided.)
  
  
• Maximum network flexibility that is ready on-demand to quickly respond to IT changes with no downtime—typically at 1/10 the time and cost of a traditional infrastructure.
  
  
• Unprecedented speed and delivery of emerging clinical workflow processes, HIPAA mandates, and new high-bandwidth imaging equipment.
  
  
• Easy network upgrades, expansions, and reconfigurations—even in secure and sterile environments—with no disruption to hospital operations.
  
  
• Unlimited capacity for network growth.
