The challenge
No room for a single point of failure
The hospital serves millions of people across dozens of counties. Clinical systems, records and communications depend on the network, so an outage is a patient care problem.
The design needed multiple carriers and multiple technologies, plus the engineering and installation depth to put it all on one campus.
The solution
Three layers of WAN, engineered as one
SimpleCom designed a multi-carrier SD-WAN where each layer uses a different technology, then engineered and installed it end to end.
Primary: fiber
Three 10G fiber connections carry everyday traffic.
Backup: coax
Three 1G coax connections on a separate path.
Tertiary: wireless
Two mmWave fixed wireless links plus Starlink satellite.
Engineered and installed
Design, rooftop work and turn-up by SimpleCom.
The result
A third, independent path if fiber and coax both fail
The hospital now runs on three independent layers across different carriers and technologies, so a cut cable or a single carrier outage does not take the campus offline.
