GPON in Healthcare: Cough up the phlegm

So ‘crass’ is not my goal.

GPON in healthcare is.

And typically, I’d say, 

‘I’m sorry.‘

Not this time.

When was the last time you savored phlegm? Or thought, it was even almost close to a good idea?

Not you, not any sane person ever.

So why do you continue to default to traditional Ethernet networking?

Here are ten  signs of phlegm  in your healthcare Ethernet network design:

1. Electronic spikes or surges
2. Electromagnetic interference
3. Heat and freezing environments
4. Water and flooding
5. Costly local network redundancy
6. Power outages for extended time periods
7. Need for technology rooms and larger switches
8. Larger Technology rooms
9. More IT staff to react to downtime
10. And more…

More in the Ethernet networking world  always equals more cost. Much more than GPON in healthcare.

Up to 80% more.

Isn’t it time to cough up the phlegm?

According to HIMSS Leadership survey, the top three (3) priorities for the the healthcare industry are:

1. Information Security
2. Leveraging IT to improve clinical care
3. Financial viability

It’s a cryptic admission, I know.

But,

When decoded, they told the world what’s keeping them up at night.

It’s that silent scream.

‘Come here,

Listen closely… “We ain’t happy. We gotta do somethin.’

Something that works comprehensively.

Holistically.

Something better than traditional Ethernet Networking.

I won’t go over the top with any silver bullet cure for healthcare’s woes.

GPON in healthcare is not a silver bullet

But,

The Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) could relieve much of the phlegm.

It’s akin to  knowing you need to lose weight, but you’re stuck in your horrendous eating habits.

You need an overhaul man.

Portion control, ratio of green vegetables to starchy foods considerations, some grains, an increase in H2O consumption, protein…

And yes,

Some exercise.  Move that body.

And you know what?

You start to feel better. You  get better.

Healthcare is starting to ride the  GPON wave. It makes sense why.

Traditional networking is a lot like phlegm. All that hacking, coughing and sneezing and it just gets more costly to treat.

It’s crazy.

GPON in healthcare is the overhaul that CIOs need to help them meet their top three priorities.

Some already know it.

But they are scared. Scared of  the change. Scared of the quantum leap. GPON in healthcare is a dare.

You may be afraid too.

It’s fear vs. phlegm.

Are you willing to admit that you have been savoring phlegm?

Then,  contact us for your network evaluation.

Consider GPON in healthcare for these reasons:

• Security

According to a side by  comparison with Cisco, GPON comes out on top.

Just ask the SANs Institute.

Their test revealed that more security is available in GPON fiber to the desktop (FTTD) because neither network management traffic nor switching were seen in standard network communications.

• Converges voice, video and data on to a single fiber
• Reduced installation time and cost by up to 50%
• Increased work performance for demanding applications
• Eliminates HVAC and UPS requirements and allows for smaller closets

Of course, I could go on and on about the benefits of GPON in healthcare.

And I will, once you are ready to cough up the phlegm.

Guaranteed you will feel better. Your network will get better.
