Across the healthcare sector, organizations of all sizes partner with Extreme Networks to modernize legacy systems, automate network management, and secure sensitive patient data. Whether enabling seamless telehealth experiences, supporting real-time clinical workflows, or reducing IT workload through centralized management, Extreme solutions empower countless providers to improve operational resilience, enhance patient and staff experiences, and focus on delivering better care.

Seamless patient experiences

Prima CARE is a fast-growing, multi-specialty healthcare group based in Massachusetts. They were facing frequent network performance issues that disrupted staff workflows and medical device usage. Extreme Networks helped them deploy 6 GHz Wi-Fi and a simplified network infrastructure to address these concerns. The outcome? Reliable wireless connectivity across facilities has enabled smooth clinician mobility and consistent uptime to keep medical devices up and running, resulting in an 80% decrease in trouble tickets across their 20+ medical offices.

Resilient, secure infrastructure

Henry Ford Health Systems provides a full range of healthcare services and operates 200 medical centers and seven specialized medical facilities across Michigan, meaning they have to manage and secure a high volume of patient, organizational, and network data. To do so, they worked with Extreme Networks to refresh their network with 6 GHz Wi-Fi APs, fabric, and a simplified management tool. As a result, they have enhanced network performance to enable better patient care, minimized downtime to keep medical devices connected, and fortified their security to protect confidential information.

Scalable network expansion

Concord Hospital is a regional hospital in New Hampshire that needed to be able to connect their different locations without disruption. Extreme Networks provided switching and fabric to simplify their network management and improve security, resulting in cost savings, secure automation, and improve staff experiences across all sites.

Healthcare innovation at scale

OSF HealthCare is an integrated health system consisting of 13 acute care facilities, two colleges of nursing, and a robust physician organization in Illinois and Michigan. Their network supports advanced research and continuous operations across all of those facilities. So, they worked with Extreme Networks to refresh their network with modern switches, fabric, and simplified management. Since their refresh, they have seen 30% capital savings, 60% maintenance reduction, and simplified IT operations, freeing their team to focus on innovative technologies that will further their healthcare system.

Enhancing patient care

Novant Health is a nonprofit healthcare system with more than 800 locations across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. They required high-performance connectivity to keep all of their locations up and running, so they modernized their infrastructure to 6 GHz wireless APs and simplified their network management so they could get a more holistic view of all the devices on their network. This has helped them improve patient and staff experiences and enable their teams to implement innovative medical tools and applications seamlessly.
