Market Overview
Wide Array of Solutions Attract Healthcare Providers to Wireless Infrastructure Solutions
The push for moving information to the fingertips of clinicians and satisfying the mobile environment of a hospital has fuelled the rapid growth of the wireless infrastructure markets for healthcare providers. One such in-building device, the distributed antenna system (DAS), offers healthcare providers solutions ranging from the low-level MHz to mid GHz ranges. Between wireless local area network (WLAN) and DAS technologies, healthcare provides can choose from overlay networks and unified infrastructures that will form a complete, robust, and technologically advanced infrastructure.
These technologies will differentiate themselves not only on data transfer rate and cost of ownership but also on the ability to provide multiple services over the infrastructures. 'No matter the outcome of the battle, wireless infrastructures are expected to remain in strong demand,' says the analyst of this research service. 'This is because its ability to help deliver clinical and other solutions at the point of care and to a mobile workforce is necessary to accomplish improvements in patient care and safety.'
Rapid Evolution of Technology Aids Wider Adoption of Wireless Infrastructure Solutions
The sustained uptake of wireless infrastructure solutions is likely to encourage service providers to continuously seek high bandwidth opportunities so they can offer robust applications and services to end users. Wireless infrastructure has undergone rapid evolutions in numerous aspects including security, open standards, multiple service offerings, and unified architectures. These improvements present customers with many options for both new purchases and upgrades, boosting the overall market growth.
To implement a robust wireless infrastructure, providers may have to revamp the wired network. This can place enormous financial and implementation pressures on them. 'Multiple approaches and strategies will be necessary to augment a successful implementation,' notes the analyst. 'Providers need to offer a multi-year wireless strategy that takes into consideration evolving standards, service offerings, and the potential significance to changes in the wired network.'
