Extreme in the Intelligent Health Pavilion
Extreme is the official network and analytics provider for the Intelligent Health Pavilion (IHP) at HIMSS for the
sixth year in a row. The IHP is an educational and interactive demonstration lab showcasing the latest innovations in healthcare
technology from vendors across the technology spectrum. Demonstrations show how medical and IoT devices, applications and
network technology interoperate to improve healthcare processes and deliver innovative treatments in various hospital settings,
including the ICU, operating room, medical clinic and more. Extreme Smart OmniEdge™ and Automated Campus™ solutions will be
deployed throughout the IHP in 10 real-world healthcare scenarios to show providers how to intelligently manage IoT deployments,
secure and protect clinical networks, and provide a better Wi-Fi experience for patients and staff.
Extreme Kiosk
Extreme will provide in-focus demonstrations of its end-to-end network solutions in kiosk #1 in the IHP. Some of the
technologies to be showcased include:
- ExtremeMobility™ Wi-Fi 6 access points, uniquely designed to deliver connectivity in challenging physical
environments, such as hospitals. Embedded AI capabilities give healthcare IT the ability to apply artificial intelligence to
auto-tune the Wi-Fi network for optimum performance and experience. This lessens the workload for network engineers and
provides a path for autonomous networking at the edge;
- Defender for IoT™, a robust security solution for managing wired and wireless IoT devices simply. Defender for IoT
can be deployed on any network and is so easy to use even non-technical healthcare staff can use it to isolate and protect both
wired and wireless IoT devices from cyberattacks;
- Extreme Management Center™, a network management system that gives healthcare IT deep visibility, actionable
analytics, granular control, and cross domain orchestration and automation capabilities across the entire network. Network
managers can ensure only the right devices and people can connect to the network, and easily and automatically prioritize data
flows to balance the streaming needs of video, voice, and critical medical instruments. This helps insure proper bandwidth is
allocated to critical content, like a live stream surgery.
- Extreme Fabric Connect™ network virtualization technology, gives healthcare providers the ability to create
end-to-end network segmentation for secure user and device access.
