Medical Device Networking for Smarter Healthcare

The new federal stimulus for electronic health records (EHRs) and electronic medical records (EMRs) has sparked an interest in the benefits of medical device connectivity. It also has created a demand for information about specific implementation requirements for some of the key applications that are poised to take advantage of data communications networking across medical equipment. In this paper, we will discuss six key applications for medical device connectivity, focusing on requirements, implementation, and associated benefits. These six application areas are: OR/anesthesiology, ICU bed, patient room, lab environment/printers, mobile cart and home monitoring. This paper will also discuss the challenges specific to wireless integration.

5G Analytics: Addressing the Data Explosion

whitePaper | May 5, 2022

U.S. operators will spend more than $250 billion to deploy 5G wireless networks from 2020 to 2025. The recent C-band (5G spectrum) auction where four operators accounted for $79 billion of the $81 billion raised increased 5G costs by an additional 40%. The top U.S. operators (Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T) will complete the majority of their 5G deployments over the next five years. As they continue to expand their 5G coverage and capacity, a key concern is how to recoup their 5G investments while minimizing deployment costs.

Accelerating High-Speed Networking with Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology

whitePaper | January 1, 2023

The emergence of multi-Gigabit Ethernet allows data centers to adapt to the increasing bandwidth requirements of enterprise IT. To take full advantage of this network capacity, data center managers must consider the impact of hightraffic volume on server resources. A compelling way of efficiently translating high bandwidth into increased throughput and enhanced quality of service is to take advantage of Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT), now available in the new Dual-Core and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor-based server platforms. Intel I/OAT moves data more efficiently through these servers for fast, scalable, and reliable networking.
