 The Healthcare industry 
is a dynamic and complex environment demanding ever-evolving requirements from 
the local network.  Mergers and Acquisitions, and expansions are constantly 
challenging IT administrators to build new, flexible networks.  New 
applications, new technologies, and new tools are creating an increasing need 
for more bandwidth.  At the same time, health care costs are rising 
quickly, and patient relations, including privacy concerns as well as the 
rapidly expanding record-keeping requirements, are becoming more important and 
difficult to manage. All these factors combine to create difficult challenges 
for the IT staff.
 
 MRV provides solutions to these problems through 
a variety of products.  Our modular and fixed-form OptiSwitchT Ethernet 
switching and routing products are flexible and scalable, providing a 
cost-effective method of aggregating data from offices and treatment 
rooms.  These switches all provide high-security through 802.1Q VLANs and 
other methods.  The OptiSwitch family also provides full Quality-of-Service 
to allow delay-sensitive applications, like remote video or remote surgery to 
operate without fear of conflict with other, lower priority data. Our products 
are also easy to deploy and manage.  The MegaVision WebT Network 
Management System provides a complete solution for managing all MRV and other 
3rd party products with a Web-based interface.
 
 In many cases, hospitals 
operate on multi-building campuses.  Today, many of these facilities, even 
though they are very close together, are inter-connected through a low-speed WAN 
connection, using T1 or E1 technology, or are not connected at all.  It is 
difficult and often impractical to run fiber-optic cabling from building to 
building.  When this is the case, the MRV TereScopeT line of 
Free-Space Optics (FSO) products provides a quick and easy solution for 
delivering huge bandwidth quickly, at very attractive prices, between 
buildings.  With only line-of-site as a requirement, FSO technology creates a 
high-speed network interconnect (up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds), making two or 
more facilities act as a single large network.
 
 For Healthcare networks, 
reliability is a mission-critical (sometimes life-critical) requirement.  
MRV provides extremely reliable, robust equipment, together with a vast array of 
redundancy technologies, from dual fiber-optic interfaces and hot-swappable 
line-interface cards to fast fail-over protocols such as Rapid Spanning 
Tree.  MRV products provide a complete, cost effective, secure and reliable 
solution to the challenges facing Healthcare networks.
