spend more time with patients and improving data accuracy,” says Ressing. “This new way of
working enables our hospital to offer the highest quality of healthcare.”
The centralized architecture of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network has also resulted in significant
time and cost savings for the hospital. “Today, our three network managers have to manage more
than 5000 network ports and up to 1000 access points,” says Ressing. “They don’t have time to
make manual changes or updates on each individual access point.” With Cisco,
Universitätsklinikum Essen managers simply make changes on the controller, updating all access
points at once. “Centralized management helps us work more efficiently,” says Ressing.

The speed, security, and scalability of the 802.11n network have made it possible for
Universitätsklinikum Essen to implement a future-proof network that keeps the hospital at the
forefront of healthcare. “Thanks to Cisco’s 802.11n technology and close partnership, we are one
of the first hospitals in Germany to build a wireless network for clinical applications,” says Ressing.

Next Steps
As Universitätsklinikum Essen completes the deployment of the 802.11n network, it plans to focus
on the mobile services that it will provide throughout the hospital. Within the next six months, the
hospital intends to perfect its new mobile clinical processes. “We expect to customize some of our
clinical applications to support our new workflow,” says Ressing. In the future, Universitätsklinikum
Essen plans to implement RFID tags for patients and medical equipment in order to track their
location throughout the hospital. Voice over IP is also a possibility. “Cisco’s 802.11n network has
opened up many opportunities for us to continue improving efficiency and patient care. We look
forward to growing our services with Cisco as our partner,” says Ressing.
