InnerWireless Accepted Into Cisco Systems Solution
Incentive Program
InnerWireless embeds market-leader’s wireless
products into Horizon Platform creating end-to-end solution for
wireless convergence for North American Healthcare
RICHARDSON, Texas
June 23, 2008
With customers demanding both a platform for
wireless convergence and a one-stop-shop for the sale, deployment
and support of WLAN products, InnerWireless®, Inc., today announced
that it has optimized its architecture and offering to make Cisco
products the WLAN centerpiece of its Horizon platform for hospitals
in North America. This updated offering combines best-of-breed
WLAN technology with the world-renowned engineering and deployment
capabilities of InnerWireless. The solution is delivered through
the Horizon Converged Wireless Platform. The turnkey integrated
offering marks a strategic shift for InnerWireless, which has also
become a Premier Certified Partner in addition to acceptance into
the Solutions Incentive Program (SIP) by Cisco.
Horizon is a multiservice,
distributed antenna system that provides a next-generation WLAN
architecture powered with Cisco Access Points,
Wireless LAN Controllers, Network Management, and Mobility Services.
Horizon can dramatically increase network performance for 802.11
b/g, a, and n when compared to a traditional 802.11 deployment.
In
addition to selling and embedding Cisco WLAN products in Horizon,
InnerWireless provides customers with front-line support for
the complete solution. The new Cisco-centric offering allows hospitals
to easily and economically deploy a highly reliable platform
for
distributing and managing multiple wireless services that support
mission- and life-critical applications. Providing application
assurance is the ultimate goal of the InnerWireless platform
including voice, data, location, wireless medical telemetry and
other clinical
applications, as well as wireless wide area network (WWAN) services,
such as cellular/PCS, paging, two-way radio, and public safety.
"We've optimized a vendor-neutral, in-building wireless platform
into one that is powered by the world leader in WLAN technology.
By combining Cisco technology with InnerWireless technology and
world-class deployment expertise, the hospital customer now has
a solution that is unparalleled in North America," said Michael
Campbell, senior vice president of corporate development for InnerWireless. "The
new solution is a perfect complement to our PanGo™ location
services platform, which is already tightly integrated with Cisco's
mobility services strategy. Taken as a whole, these changes mark
a revolution for healthcare mobility and wireless convergence."
The
new professional services accompanying the Cisco-centric Horizon
system include:
*Horizon RF Engineering and Deployment – Guaranteed
signal-level coverage to yield dependable user perception for data,
voice, and
location services.

so that customers can safely introduce new technologies, 802.11n,

usage to ensure throughput requirements are met.
InnerWireless helps businesses from Fortune 500 companies, to
healthcare, to hospitality maximize the power of their wireless
investments, regardless of the technology. Horizon manages the
