Challenge
Skye Cosmetic Dental Center is a family
healthcare practice, offering a full range of
services, from dental cleanings and exams to
teeth whitening, orthodontics, and veneers.
The practice focuses on creating a comfortable, relaxing environment,
while showcasing the best in modern dental care. Information
technology plays an important role at Skye Dental, enabling the
practice to save time on administrative tasks like managing patient

made plans to move into new offices, the practice needed an
advanced, yet affordable voice and data networking solution.

“One of the best things about the camera is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), which makes things very
simple,” says Tan. “If I had purchased a traditional surveillance camera, I would have had to install a power plug
nearby, which is not always easy to do. With the Cisco camera, we didn’t have to hire an electrician or other vendors
to install it. We just plug the camera in using a Cat 6 computer cable.”
