Colubris Networks and PanGo Networks, a leading provider of location aware systems for WiFi Networks, today announced a global technology, sales and marketing agreement to provide integrated mobile health care solutions. The first of its kind solution combines PanGo’s location-aware system with Colubris’ multi-service, enterprise wireless LAN system (WLAN) allowing hospital staff and caregivers to increase enterprise asset visibility by tracking critical medical equipment, key personnel and patients faster, thus improving operating efficiencies while saving millions of dollars per year in lost productivity and revenue.
“Successfully deploying wireless systems requires tremendous confidence in the networks supporting these emerging applications,” said Michael Campbell, president and CEO of PanGo Networks. “Colubris’ commitment to open standards and innovations in the areas of secure, reliable and scalable wireless infrastructure are a solid foundation for PanGo’s location aware applications.”
The combination provides an ideal choice for institutions interested in deploying mobile asset tracking and dispatching applications on leading edge WLAN infrastructure to instantly deliver location-relevant information to the right healthcare professional. Colubris’ ability to simultaneously support a mix of enterprise devices, applications and services – while protecting the security and QoS required by each – makes it an ideal choice for integrating location tracking services with other enterprise WLAN applications.
“PanGo is the first to build a total Asset Tracking system that leverages a standard Wi-Fi network infrastructure,” said Barry Fougere, president and CEO, Colubris Networks. “By combining this capability with the leadership multi-service WLAN capabilities offered by Colubris, this partnership has raised the bar with respect to scale, QoS and ease of deployment for best-of-breed location services.”
