Cisco announced that Felix Platter Hospital in Basel, Switzerland, is deploying Cisco® Intent-Based Networking to create the foundation for the hospital’s digital operation. The new, highly secure network is designed and deployed by Itris Enterprise AG, a Cisco Gold Partner in Switzerland, and is expected to be fully operational by December 2018. The intuitive network will power several applications used by doctors, nurses, patients, and hospital operations, including the hospital information system and asset tracking for medical equipment. The building’s automation system, voice and video communication (including mobile devices) and the patient entertainment system will also run on the same network, thus saving significant costs for implementation and management.
