THE CASE FOR BROADBAND WIRELESS NETOWRKS
The Healthcare Sector
A key element in building a superior Healthcare
System is being able to implement the system in
the first place. Today, advanced applications,
remote care programs, remote monitoring systems,
are incomplete due to a lack of ubiquitous,
always on, broadband wireless networks.

Principles of iBurst, Adaptive Antennas System in
Contrast With Existing Systems
Conventional Signal Most of transmission energ
y is wasted, or
becomes interference

• Adaptive Array Signal
• Most of transmission, energy is focused on user
• Interference is filtered via downlink nulling

Convergence of LAN and WAN A question of
Regulation?

• In order to fulfill the quest of
• Broadband Wireless Network Access
• for the healthcare sector
• -Government
• -Private Sector (Telecommunications)
• -Healthcare Community
• must join forces and determine what
• Is right for patients.
• Whos responsibility is it?
• And, does the Healthcare sector
• deserve its own Spectrum?
