<title><![CDATA[Enterprise 3Com Network Helps Dutch Hospital Boost Patient Care in Groundbreaking Regional Health Care Project]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1008701]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Based in Gouda, Netherlands, The Groene Hart Ziekenhuis (GHZ, i.e. Green Heart Hospital) is a 500 - bed general facility serving 72,000 residents of the largely rural 'green heart' region of central Holland. The aim of the project is to ensure that all participants have access to up - to - date information needed to give every patient personalized, consistent and high quality service. Clearly, the hospitalīs network will have a crucial part to play in ensuring the success of the proposed integrated health care structure. GHZ was favorably predisposed toward staying with 3Com Switch 7700 and 3Com wireless systems to provide its next generation data network. 3Com systems were easier to acquire, own, operate, and manage than competing systems, particularly those from Cisco.]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=992691]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Throughout the history of mass media, technology and the advertising industry have been inextricably linked. The development of faster and more efficient printing presses in the 19th century led to the popularity of newspapers and newspaper advertising. The radio boom in the 1920s led to a new genre of advertising, despite early pressure to ban direct advertising from the radio airwaves. As the price of television sets came into reach for the average household in the 1950s, television became a powerful medium for the advertising industry, which now had to learn how to target consumers via images versus written or spoken words.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Expanding Wireless Communications With "White Spaces"]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=991061]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Valuable White Spaces spectrum in the underused broadcast TV channels is freed up by the DTV transition in the U.S. This spectrum can be used to expand the bandwidth available for wireless communications. Using the White Spaces requires coexistence technologies to ensure that incumbent users such as TV broadcasts, wireless microphones, and medical telemetry devices are not inadvertently subjected to interference. With strong advances in radio technology, engineering solutions to the coexistence challenge are within sight. The IT and consumer electronics industries, including Dell, are working with the FCC to develop and test these coexistence technologies and bring them to market when they are proven and mature.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Wireless Medical Devices: Security Issues, Market Opportunities and Growth Trends - What's Your Share of the $5 Billion Medical Monitoring Market?]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=972585]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[The number and variety of wireless medical devices is growing rapidly, driven by the expansion of wireless communication technology and the medical needs of the aging US population. In 2008, two independent groups demonstrated how a defibrillator may be wirelessly attacked. An electromagnetic field enabled a wireless connection with the defibrillator from a distance of inches from the "Patient's" chest. However, it is far more likely that such devices will invite attacks because they are using the Internet as a communications backbone. Approximately 9700 patents have been issued, with many more pending, that describe an embodiment of wireless communication or wireless connectivity that could be vulnerable to attack or spurious disruption. To accompany them, there is a growing body of patents addressing medical device security.]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=971295]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[A leading manufacturer of access points and concentrators was growing sales rapidly with a limited staff of engineers. End-user technical support was delivered by the internal engineering organization. Releases of new products were slipping. Many of the calls were repetitious set up and end-user "How to" questions. The manufacturer selected Inforonics to provide Tier 1 support, initially during off-hours, weekends and holidays. Detailed scripts were developed that allowed Inforonics Technical Support Representatives to open support tickets, properly determine the issue the end user was having, triage the problem and either close the case or escalate to the manufacturer's Tier 2 support organization.]]></description>
