Secure and confidential internet access

Health care providers in Germany want to offer WiFi solutions in accordance with the highest security standards for their patients. For this purpose, m3connect offers an innovative communication structure including a security concept for clinics and hospitals which need to have patient internet and staff intranet kept entirely separate.

Challenge:

Providing hospitals, care homes and clinics with secured WiFi networks for patients and staff.

Solution:

The WiFi network is accessed by means of individual login data. The transmission path to the access point is already encrypted and authentication happens automatically in the background, not requiring login data to be typed in again.

Advantages for hotspot users

• no restrictions on usability
• choice of regular or secured WiFi access
• privacy protection while in hospital

Advantages for hotspot hosts

• no additional hardware required
• same allocation of login data as before
• free extension of existing m3connect
  systemsn
• optionally: system extension by adding
  additional applications such as VoD or
  digital signage.
