Unified network gives greater return on investment 

The hospital seized the chance to reduce costs and improve IT by moving 
to Cisco technology for its LAN, Wi-Fi, and telephony needs. The solution, 
installed by BT, includes a fully-redundant Cisco network.

Before, the hospital had two phone systems and three numbering plans. By 
including Cisco Unified Communications in the network upgrade, it saved a 
five-figure sum on the cost of installing a single, old-style phone system. 

Secure mobility available everywhere

With the previous wireless network, strength and reach were patchy. 
Using advanced features such as Cisco CleanAir® Express Technology, 
the Wi-Fi network has boosted coverage and wireless performance across 
the entire campus. 

A Cisco Identity Services Engine checks to make sure users and their 
devices are safe to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Clinicians have special 
rights for accessing data and services, compared to patients and visitors 
who can browse the Internet and stay in touch with friends and family.
