What would your life be like without wireless technology?
The average household has over 9 Wi-Fi devices and that number is growing rapidly. Smart speakers. Smart lights. Security cameras. Temperature controls. Virtual assistants. The phenomenal growth of wireless networks is driven by the design evolution of powerful personal devices.
Wireless technology also plays a pivotal role in the orchestration of effective and accessible healthcare. The average hospital room has 25 wireless-enabled devices. That means a small 200-bed hospital contains 5,000 devices or more, not including the many environmental sensors that are deployed to monitor and control other aspects of the hospital environment.
Wireless technologies are now a mission-critical capability in the array of hospital network tools. But, making wireless technologies patient-safe remains a challenge.
