5. Hiroshima City Hospital:
CHALLENGE: Radiology department
 The Radiology Department adopted a radiology
batch control system to transport CT images and
diagnostic reports
 With sensitive patient data at-hand, it became
essential to have “uninterrupted network
service;” ensuring positive healthcare
communication and long-term patient care.
SOLUTION:
 Highly resilient Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure to
create a redundant network.
 In addition, the department selected Allied
Telesis’ “SwitchBlade 5400S” to ensure network
consistency and establish high-resiliency of
network elements.

6. Nagoya Ekisaikai Hospital
CHALLENGE: Electronic Record System
 Nagoya Ekisaikai Hospital was looking to deploy
an electronic healthcare record system
 Additionally, the Hospital wanted a mission-critical
gigabit network to maintain this Critical Care
System.
SOLUTION:
 Using L2 plus switches, the Hospital was able to
create a high-speed switched LAN backbone in
each segment and leveraged L3 switches to
manage routing between segments, for high-
speed interconnects with the server farm.

7. Japanese Red Cross Kitami Hospital
CHALLENGE:
 To ensure electronic health records could be
shared among the regional institutions,
 Japanese Red Cross Kitami Hospital had to
ensure internal networks were replaced with high-
speed, high-broadband backbone.
SOLUTION:
 Gigabit Ethernet Switching solution was deployed
ensuring a highly-reliable, scalable, and secure
network.

8. Versailles Hospital System (800 beds) 8
CHALLENGE:
 Wireless system for Picture Archiving and
Communications System (PACS)
 Large file sizes 90MB
 High reliability and mobility
SOLUTION:
 Deployment of Allied Telesis/Extricom channel
blanket wireless solution. 1
