H3C: Supporting Digital Transformation of All-Scenario Business in Smart Hospitals with Converged Network Technology

H3C: Supporting Digital Transformation of All-Scenario Business in Smart Hospitals with Converged Network Technology


Under the guidance of the "cloud intelligence native" strategy, New H3C Group will give full play to its own technical advantages and practical experience, continue to explore the application scenarios of network innovation technology in the medical and health field, and lead the development of smart medical care to a new journey.

The hospital is the core of protecting the health and well-being of the people. Continuously improving the operating efficiency of the hospital and improving the experience of diagnosis and treatment through digital technology has become one of the livelihood focuses of the whole society.

Like all industries, the construction of a smart hospital requires a strong network base. At the recently held "2022 China Hospital Information Network Conference (CHINC) and China Medical Information Technology Exhibition", New H3C Group, a subsidiary of Tsinghua Unigroup, fully demonstrated the all-optical network solution of Zhirong, as well as the network solutions based on Wi-Fi, IoT, and 5G. Converged network solutions with technologies such as the Internet of Things help hospital campuses to build networks with lower costs, faster speeds, and smarter network management.

Zhirong all-optical solution perfectly adapts to the network requirements of medical full-scenario

Many personnel, dense equipment, multiple services, and multiple scenarios are typical characteristics of hospitals. The rapid growth of digital services represented by medical imaging and electronic medical records and massive medical equipment has overwhelmed the hospital's original network architecture, and it is easy to cause local network problems. Congestion affects the diagnosis and treatment experience and hospital operating efficiency. The all-optical network has gradually become the first choice for network construction in the medical industry due to its advantages such as higher bandwidth, large layer-2 network, easy operation and maintenance and expansion, ultra-long transmission, and green and low-carbon. At this exhibition, New H3C Group fully demonstrated the Zhirong all-optical park network solution. The solution is based on the fusion technology route of "Ethernet + PON", and innovatively launched the optical host for aggregation function and the shadow terminal for access. With simple networking, long optical transmission distance, optical hybrid wiring and POE The functions are perfectly adapted to each application scenario in the hospital.

Outpatient hall : Zhirong all-optical solution gives full play to the characteristics of long optical fiber signal transmission distance and less equipment required for networking. Through a minimalist network structure, it uses an innovative photoelectric hybrid cable and video terminal access switch combination to realize various terminals. Fast access, network reliability has been doubled, meeting the networking needs of various self-service terminals and a large number of payment PCs.

●Medical Imaging Center: Medical imaging equipment represented by CT and PET can generate data of several gigabytes in a single scan. Traditional networks require a lot of time to upload data. Zhirong all-optical solution can give full play to the high-bandwidth advantages of all-optical networks, greatly shorten data upload time, and accelerate hospital operation efficiency.

●Smart ward : In the scenario where there are a large number of medical equipment terminals, the traditional solution can only use multiple networks to bear the load separately. The Zhirong all-optical solution only needs two links to carry all intranet and extranet applications respectively. In the form of a virtual AP, it not only provides intranet services for various medical IoT devices, but also provides extranet services for personnel smart devices. Serve. In addition, through Ethernet QoS quality management based on SDN technology, the hospital can also provide the highest traffic priority for various key services on the premise that one network carries all services, ensuring timely and effective medical treatment response.

5G+Wi-Fi+IoT multi-network integration to build wireless smart interconnection

Driven by policy and market demand, "5G+" has become one of the main directions for future medical wireless network construction. Faced with a wide variety of medical terminals and IoT device access and management requirements with different protocols, how to use the most simplified network architecture and realize the interconnection of device data through multi-network fusion technology, so that various cloud-native applications can be smoothly accessed It has become a problem that hospitals have to face in the digital transformation of each business line and improve the operating efficiency.

The "5G+Wi-Fi+IoT Multi-Network Convergence Service System" exhibited by New H3C Group this time has truly realized the integration of three networks and unified management of the medical network. The system uses the 5G CPE fusion IoT gateway as the data bus to establish a full-coverage fusion network, and realize data transmission and sharing of hospital business terminals through 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and RFID. Relying on the Oasis IoT platform and AC equipment, the system manages 5G CPE equipment, Wi-Fi6 wireless network, and IoT IoT in a unified manner, realizing the integrated coordination and linkage of people, equipment, and equipment, so as to meet the needs of early detection and quick disposal of the situation. File, loss reduction requirements. At present, H3C Group's 5G+Wi-Fi+IoT multi-network integration business solution has been implemented in Ningbo First Hospital, and successfully passed the Interconnection Five-B evaluation organized by the National Health Statistics Information Center, and has won a wide range of customers praise.

Looking forward to the future, under the guidance of the "cloud intelligence native" strategy, New H3C Group will give full play to its own technical advantages and practical experience, continue to explore the application scenarios of network innovation technology in the medical and health field, and lead the development of smart medical care to a new journey.
