Huawei's 2.5GE + Wi-Fi 7 Solution Empowers TMC MATI to Build a Smarter, Future-ready Network

The Medical City, an industry-leading representative of the Philippine medical industry

The Medical City (TMC) stands as a leading private tertiary care hospital in the Philippines, renowned for its world-class medical services and cutting-edge facilities. Located along Ortigas Avenue in Pasig City, Metro Manila, this healthcare complex serves as a critical hub for both local and international patients, accommodating approximately 40,000 inpatients and 380,000 outpatients annually.

Technological Frontrunners – The Medical City & Huawei

The Medical City has consistently been at the forefront of technological progress. The Medical City became an early adopter of Huawei Wi-Fi 7 APs in the Mati building. This change will not only improve the overall network performance but also improve the security of the network. The Medical City, as a frontrunner of ICT healthcare, would also love to keep up on trends in the era of Wi-Fi 7.

With the development of medical digitalization services, the company faces three challenges in the network upgrade:

The wireless network of the hospital has a black hole and poor coverage. Roaming is prone to disconnection. The network bandwidth is insufficient to support high-bandwidth wireless healthcare services.

New business requirements will determine the future transformation of network architectures to provide the resiliency, scalability, and flexibility needed to meet the demands of business growth. For example, video conferencing, telemedicine, and medical terminals require high-speed and high-reliability networks.

To meet healthcare digital transformation and IoT expansion requirements, IoT and networks must be integrated and easy to expand.

Next Level Wi-Fi Connectivity – Huawei Wi-Fi 7 Solution:

With the ever-increasing business data in the healthcare industry, The Medical City had to consider multiple challenges and select the suitable WLAN offerings in the phase of network planning and deployment. They provide the Employees and customers with multi-band access, Gigabit connection speeds, and low latencies by leveraging Huawei’s innovative technologies such as multimedia intelligent scheduling and smart antennas. Along with Huawei’s long-term reliable product-lifecycle planning and 24/7 service support, Huawei has offered a comprehensive portfolio that enabled The Medical City to seamlessly upgrade its WLAN network while securing its investments for years to come.

To further advance The Medical City’s campus network experience, The Medical City chose Huawei Wi-Fi 7 APs AirEngine5776-26 in Mati building. This is also the first time for The Medical City to deploy Wi-Fi 7. Huawei's public cloud iMaster NCE Campus is selected on the controller to monitor and manage the network. The Medical City uses Huawei's 2.5GE + Wi-Fi 7 solution to build a smarter, future-ready network.
