Access Points (APs) create wireless local area networks (WLANs) by connecting to wired networks and then projecting a WiFi signal into a designated area. Large office spaces, warehouses, hospitals, schools, and many other facilities depend on APs to supply the WiFi connection needed by thousands of wireless devices. If there are any problems with access […]
Without functioning DNS servers, our web searches would go nowhere. Why? The Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for finding the correct IP addresses for all domain names (google.com or wyebot.com, for example) entered into a web browser. Once found, the IP addresses are used to communicate with origin servers to allow users to access […]
WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is the newest generation of WiFi. It provides significant improvements over WiFi 5 (802.11ac), but there are important things to consider before rushing in and updating your entire network. Let’s first take a look at how to determine if your network needs WiFi 6, and then see what the benefits will be […]
Hospitals are depending more and more on WiFi networks to support life saving medical devices and applications. With wireless technology constantly evolving, these networks must be designed with the future in mind if healthcare facilities want the highest return on investment. Rather than working with networks that stop providing the necessary support after a few […]
WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is the next generation of WiFi. It was designed specifically to alleviate issues in high density areas and focuses on improving network efficiency. For healthcare facilities like hospitals that have congested, high traffic, dynamic WiFi environments, this is great news. Hospital WiFi Networks The number of devices in healthcare settings continues to […]
An efficient, reliable, and secure wireless network is a critical resource for skilled nursing and long-term care facilities. From health monitoring to video chats, patients, residents, and staff rely on the network to keep day-to-day operations running smoothly and to improve health and safety. Utilizing a WiFi assurance solution to support network optimization is a […]
During the COVID-19 health pandemic, our focus is on helping others as best as we can. We know that many people are working remotely and depending on VPN connections for access to on-premise servers and applications. For those applications to perform well, a strong network infrastructure is critical. We put together this guide on Remote […]
In today’s hospitals, IoT devices and other wireless medical devices are commonplace and essential. The number of devices on a hospital network – devices that provide critical and life-saving information – only continues to grow. Reliable and consistently strong network performance is a mission-critical resource. Any network downtime or connectivity issues can be catastrophic. Identifying […]
Health information technology (health IT or HIT) is the area of healthcare that uses technology systems to improve the management of patient data. It covers all technology that providers and patients use to record, analyze, and share health data. Some examples of health IT include: Electronic health records (EHRs): EHRs make health information more readily […]
If there’s one thing we all want more of, it’s fast internet. In fact, speed is one of the most important things used to measure network performance. So, how do you test it? What is commonly referred to as speed, is often technically called throughput. Throughput tells you how much data was “effectively” transferred between […]
