Building a Smarter, More Connected Hospital with Secure, Seamless WiFi

As healthcare shifts toward digital, tech-driven care and patient management, the hospital network infrastructure needed to keep pace. This rehabilitation hospital in Goyang, South Korea, had to accommodate the growing number of wireless devices and the digital transformation of medical services. Yet, its switches and access points were managed separately, making network operations inefficient and issues harder to resolve.

To improve WiFi performance and network security while centralizing network management, Zyxel Networks’ Nebula solution provides a unified infrastructure for core medical systems, including Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), and Order Communication System (OCS). It enables real-time patient monitoring and faster information sharing among medical staff, while providing patients and visitors with high-quality WiFi throughout the hospital.

Key Achievements:

• Seamless roaming for EMR carts and mobile medical devices across wards and examination rooms

• VLAN-based separation of business and guest networks for stronger data protection

• One-tap guest WiFi access via a customizable captive portal

• Scalable wireless foundation ready for future mobility technologies such as AI-powered diagnostics and medical robots

• Enhanced WiFi speed and security with centralized network management through the Nebula secure cloud networking solution
