Adelaide-based network specialist  MIMP has installed one of the fastest privately-owned wireless networks in the world to help SA Heart Centres deliver better patient care.

When Australia’s largest cardiology group, SA Heart Centres, recognised that its computer network was holding back its development by an inability to transfer large medical imaging files between branches, it turned to MIMP connecting solutions.

Using secure 120 megabit-per-second licensed microwave links, MIMP installed one of the fastest privately owned wireless networks in the world, which went live in November 2007.

The major benefit has been better patient care through providing immediate access to centrally stored patient records from any SA Heart Centres cardiology branch throughout metropolitan Adelaide. “MIMP has future-proofed our technology with a high performance network and predictable costs. We are gaining a rapid return on our investment," said SA Health Centres past chairman Dr Bill Heddle.

Executive Summary
Scotch Oakburn College, like many schools throughout the country, has used wireless technology since 2003. However, as the number of concurrent notebook connections increased, the college became increasingly aware of the limitations of consumer-grade wireless devices.

In January 2007, Scotch Oakburn resolved years of frustration with its campus-wide wireless network by deploying an 802.11n-ready Colubris network controller and intelligent access points. From day one, the Colubris wireless local area network operated faultlessly, repaying the capital investment in less than six months.
