Medical Industry
Maintaining complex network and security settings within medical environments is not only error prone, but extremely expensive
Industry Problem
This expense lies both in real costs and with respect to the amount of time and energy necessary to maintain and monitor these networks. In part due to the challenging OEM or cross LAN sharing requirements, most if not all hospitals and clinics fail security audits intended to assess whether or not they meet minimum standard security requirements.
Smartpoints™ Solution
The SmartNode™ provides an elegant and simple solution using a combination of patented and proprietary technology. By simply plugging it into the Ethernet enabled medical device or sensitive system (the Device) and a powered USB port (or optionally a standard power supply), the SmartNode™ will auto-configure and begin operating in approximately 95% of cases without additional intervention.
