Conexus, Inc Selected by Largest Military Hospital in U.S
Conexus Teams with Ekahau to Implement Real Time Asset Tracking for More than 5,000 Items at Brooke Army Medical Center
Reston, VA --- January 20, 2011 --- Ekahau Inc., the worldwide leader in high performance Wi-Fi-based Real Time Location Systems (RTLS), announced today that Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio has selected Ekahau RTLS to track more than 5,000 pieces of mobile equipment throughout the facility's campus. BAMC is the largest military hospital in the United States, spanning a 1.5 million square foot facility with 450 beds. And, BAMC is growing as the U.S. Defense Department's base realignment and closure (BRAC) program consolidates the hospital with Wilford Hall Medical Center to create an integrated campus known as the San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC).
"With this selection by Brooke Army Medical Center and installations at multiple other military medical facilities, Ekahau RTLS is now the most widely deployed real-time location tracking solution for the U.S. military," said Tuomo Rutanen, senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing and Business Development for Ekahau. "We look forward to working with our partners and medical center officials to implement a solution that will simplify and streamline the ability to manage high-value, mobile assets, streamline workflow and grow as the facility expands under the BRAC program."
Ekahau teamed with software developer and manufacturer Conexus Inc. to deliver the winning asset tracking and management solution that has been certified by use in the Army's medical treatment facilities. The combined solution allows BAMC to track assets using Wi-Fi RTLS tags, passive RFID tags and barcodes, based on asset-specific requirements. BAMC is the first facility to deploy the integrated solution.
Ekahau RTLS has been integrated into Conexus' Plexus Vision product, which provides a full range of data collection and reporting option for hospitals. Ekahau RTLS enables the medical center to leverage its existing, campuswide Cisco Wi-Fi network for location tracking, without the need for a separate proprietary network or installation of additional infrastructure. The initial system will use Ekahau Wi-Fi tags to track more than 5,000 assets for the hospital's biomedical engineering group, with plans to expand the system to track as many as 20,000 assets across all SAMMC facilities.
"Government officials are clearly committed to efficient and responsible use of resources, enhanced by automated systems. As they take advantage of significant advances in wireless connectivity, it makes financial and logistical sense to add automated, real-time asset tracking delivered through the existing medical grade 802.11 Wi-Fi networks," said Laker B. Dunford, CEO of Conexus. "Ekahau RTLS is the industry's top solution for Wi-Fi-based asset tracking, having been deployed in major hospitals around the world. The result of our collaboration is a state-of-the-art, asset management solution with a single, secure, user-interface that can support existing accounting systems to deliver the efficiencies and cost reductions that military hospitals desire."
