Wireless LAN for the Health Sector

Mobility always comes to the top as a key feature of wireless LAN in the health sector. No matter whether it's in a doctors office with just a few users or in a large medical complex with 1000s of users with multiple buildings and locations. Mobility means increased productivity. Patients can be monitored remotely with Wi-FI equipped IV pumps. Patient records can be updated at the bedside with handheld input devices. Hospital personnel can be connected with VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones. Patients can browse the internet with "guest" access.

Security issues:

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requires patient confidentiality. Wireless LAN security implemented with WPA2 and AES encryption along with a RADIUS server for authentication meets the HIPAA requirements. Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems detect and shutdown rogue access points. Security monitoring is a must-have in the health sector.
