The Challenge
Princeton Radiology needed a reliable broadband network that would provide the high-bandwidth connections required to support their advanced Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and minimize the impact of increased telecommunication charges.
Solution
Princeton Radiology chose Let's Think Wireless (LTW) to deploy Redline's AN-50e non-line-of-sight, point-to-multi-point (PMP) broadband fixed wireless system to establish reliable and robust links to seamlessly connect several remote offices.
Result
In just a few short months, the implementation of Redline's advanced wireless broadband system led to many improvements for patient care, including decreased waiting times and faster diagnoses – and fast ROI. The wireless broadband network significantly reduced telecommunications costs and is set to pay for itself in less than two years.
Redline’s AN-50e drives significant cost savings for leading radiology clinic
Perpetually driven to provide premier patient service, Princeton Radiology knew that one of the greatest
administrative challenges for any medical facility’s operation is record keeping and retrieval. Princeton
Radiology recognized they could improve operational efficiency by moving the storage of MRI, CT and Nuclear
Medicine studies from paper files to digital media.
As a global leader in disease research, diagnosis and treatment, with multiple facilities located throughout
Princeton, New Jersey and neighboring towns, Princeton Radiology needed a large amount of bandwidth to connect all their facilities, and to support digital archiving of all patient images.
At the forefront of technology, Princeton recently introduced Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS)
to their medical practice. PACS is a state-of-the-art system that serves as a secure database for medical images -
improving the efficiency of imaging departments by allowing medical information to be stored, recalled, displayed,
manipulated and printed digitally for medical imaging departments and the medical enterprise at the touch of a button.
Radiology clinics all across the country are implementing PACS only to discover that their existing communications
networks cannot provide reliable or cost-effective delivery of these large data files. Clinics are experiencing
considerable increases in their telecommunication costs as their bandwidth demand rises exponentially. In more
extreme cases, radiology clinics are now paying in excess of $50,000 / month in telecommunications charges.
While PACS provides the advanced digital imagery and data storage capabilities that radiology clinics need for
the diagnosis and treatment of their patients – existing broadband networks did not provide the quality or costefficiency that Redline’s wireless broadband solutions can provide.
