The challenge
Universitas required a comprehensive upgrade of its core and distribution network to support a new Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Medical imaging is data-intensive and time-critical: the network had to deliver capacity and resilience without interrupting a busy academic hospital.
The DET solution
As subcontracted implementation partner, DET modernised the core and distribution layers and extended the network across the facility — architecture upgrades, structured cabling, network points, enterprise wireless, VoIP, commissioning and project implementation.
What was delivered
- Core and distribution network upgrade
- Network point installations
- Enterprise wireless access points
- VoIP services
- Commissioning and project implementation
The outcome
A modern, resilient and scalable network capable of supporting data-intensive clinical applications — and a foundation for the hospital’s continued technology transformation.
