Liverpool Hospital

Liverpool Hospital is undergoing a major redevelopment project to meet the needs of a growing population, and to ensure it can provide up-to-date healthcare services.

Country: Australia
Industry: Healthcare
Solution: Connected Solutions and Devices

As part of this project, it needed to procure a new network that would be reliable, enable fast access to high-resolution diagnostic images, and provide wireless access to medical data.

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise provided an end-to-end system that meets our needs today, and can grow along with us as our requirements evolve. Having a very reliable high-speed network has really contributed to ourability to provide better patient care.
