Secure and resilient IT networks for the healthcare sector
Whether you’re accessing a patient record, sharing test results, or providing care on the go, you need connections you can rely on. Netways Europe helps protect health data in transit and set up fixed and mobile networks for healthcare. This helps staff access the information and applications they need.
For hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, laboratories, mental health care, elder care, care for people with disabilities, rehabilitation, and home care.
The connection behind our daily work
Healthcare information must remain accessible
A healthcare provider opens a patient’s medical record. At a residential care facility, a staff member checks the medication records. If a connection goes down, it can immediately slow down the work. Which applications must remain accessible, and how much downtime can the care process tolerate?
Sensitive data travels with you
Research results are transferred from a laboratory to a healthcare provider. Healthcare teams share patient and client information across locations and with cloud systems. That data remains sensitive, even when it leaves the organization. Protecting the data in transit therefore deserves the same attention as securing the systems themselves.
Employees and equipment are constantly on the move at
Whether in a hospital ward, during rehabilitation, or at a client’s home , staff use mobile applications. In homes for people with disabilities, for example, sensors transmit measurement data on movement and temperature . The environment varies, but the question remains: Does the right user or the right device have a connection at the right time?
More control over your healthcare network
Protect data during transport
Encryption at the optical or Ethernet layer protects traffic on the selected connection, for example between healthcare facilities and data centers. The choice depends on the route, capacity, and required speed. We determine where encryption begins and ends and how the keys are managed. This makes clear which part of the data transfer is protected.
Greater control over mobile medical devices
At a healthcare facility or campus, a private LTE or 5G network can supplement or replace Wi-Fi. You can control which devices have access, separate traffic flows, and tailor capacity and priority to specific applications. Whether this provides a benefit depends on coverage, suitable equipment, frequency spectrum, and management. We assess where a dedicated mobile network makes sense and where existing connectivity is sufficient.
Prepare sensitive data stored over the long term for quantum risks
Medical records and research data often need to remain confidential for years . Future, powerful quantum computers may break certain current forms of cryptography. That is why quantum readiness begins with a deliberate choice: which data and connections deserve priority attention? We help assess the security measures in use and replacement plans, so you can transition step by step to appropriate protection.
Availability as a basis
These solutions require reliable connections. Fiber-optic monitoring helps pinpoint malfunctions; separate backup connections can compensate for outages. Whether the healthcare application remains accessible in such cases will depend on the design and testing.
From healthcare device to healthcare system: make it clear where data is protected and what alternative path is available in the event of a failure.
From a network issue to a practical improvement that can be implemented at
Netways Europe combines expertise in fixed networks, encryption, and mobile connectivity. We work together with your IT team and existing vendors. Healthcare and IT partners and integrators can also call on us for specialized networking needs.
Determining what takes priority
We map out your critical applications and connections. You’ll gain insight into the issue that deserves immediate attention .
Designing what's needed
We show what can stay the same, what needs to change , and what effort that requires. In doing so, we look at equipment, connections, and management.
Implementation and testing
We agree on maintenance schedules and contingency plans. Tests show whether the network meets the agreed-upon requirements . Design choices and test results demonstrate the improvements made.
Transfer and support
You will receive the agreed-upon documentation, and will let you know who is responsible for management, monitoring, and support. The service agreements are tailored to your environment.
Practical Questions
What networking issue are you facing?
Do you want to better protect your data, connect mobile devices, or mitigate the impact of a connection outage? Discuss your situation with us. You don’t need to have chosen a solution yet; together, we’ll determine what the next logical step should be.
