Sobre o cliente
Korea University Medicine, a top South Korean healthcare institution, has delivered world-class care and education for over 90 years—and is leading digital healthcare innovation through modernized infrastructure.
Soluções utilizadas
- Digital Age Networking
The superior performance of the new network has significantly improved our operational efficiency and enabled us to deploy advanced medical technologies that were previously constrained by our network limitations.
Challenges
Since its founding in 1928, Korea University Medicine’s hospitals in Anam, Ansan, and Guro faced rising service disruptions due to:
- Widespread wireless dead zones that hampered work efficiency
- Outdated infrastructure that couldn’t support modern wireless speeds or high-performance medical devices
- Network congestion due to the surge in IoT and wireless healthcare devices
- Limited Workforce Integrated Performance System (WIPS) features from foreign vendors, raising security concerns
Action
To modernize its network and enable smart healthcare, Korea University Medicine partnered with ALE and BIN Solutions to upgrade infrastructure across all three hospitals.
Key actions included:
- Selecting Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess® Stellar WLAN and switching solution for its robust distributed architecture and proven healthcare reliability
- Opting for a dedicated WIPS solution to strengthen wireless security, despite higher cost, to meet evaluation criteria and mitigate risk
- Integrating ALE’s APs with existing HPE Aruba APs, after confirming full technical support from both the systems integrator and ALE partner
- Leveraging BIN Solutions’ IDEN platform for seamless compatibility with ALE’s APs, enabling real-time locating system (RTLS) and centralized network management
- Collaborating with ALE HQ for development support, ensuring smooth RTLS integration for smart hospital readiness
Results
