Value
Healthcare organizations must run efficiently in order to contain or lower their costs, thereby remaining profitable while providing affordable healthcare. To realize high returns on IT investments, their networks must expand easily and interoperate reliably with legacy, current, and future technologies and adapt to change without substantial costs.

NETGEAR maximizes network functionality with complementary, integrated networking components offering wide compatibility with related products and across wireless standards and network protocols, protecting IT investments and promoting the longevity of existing networks. Our capability-rich VPN Firewalls, switches, and wireless products are priced to appeal to budget-minded buyers looking for secure and reliable solutions.

Security
Health plans, pharmacies, doctors and other healthcare professionals must protect the confidentiality of patient information as well as their own corporate data. With connectivity extended to remote users, they must ensure the complete privacy of both wired and wireless network communications.

NETGEAR leading-edge security technology effectively safeguards patient records and sensitive data against hackers and eavesdropper, restricts access to medical and business information, and protects network integrity. Our comprehensive security solutions are designed to assist healthcare organizations of all sizes to comply with HIPAA legislation.* They are Virtual Private Networking Consortium (VPNC) tested and certified to ensure interoperability with other popular security products.

Security Firewalls
NETGEAR® ProSafe™ Firewall router products ensure maximum privacy and security with the highlevel encryption that healthcare enterprises demand. We offer a selection of standards-based wired and wireless IPSec-based VPN Firewall routers, equipped with 2 to 100 VPN tunnel support capability, as well as all-in-one devices composed of an access point, VPN Firewall router, and print server. Our products are easy to configure and provide reliable, secure Internet connectivity. Standard features include Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and 3DES Encryption, Denial of Service (DoS) protection, intrusion detection, Network Address Translation (NAT), and DHCP, plus support for VPN tunnels for extra secure Internet connectivity. Combined with NETGEAR ProSafe VPN client software, NETGEAR VPN Firewall routers deliver a total solution for secure data transmission. They are certified by the International Computer Security Association (ICSA), the Virtual Private Network Consortium (VPNC) for interoperability with other standards-based VPN products, and their logging and reporting capabilities complete the minimal requirements for HIPAA compliance** for secure data transmission.

Business-Class Switches
NETGEAR offers a wide range of powerful, easy-to-use switches for all levels of the network, from unmanaged Fast Ethernet at the edge to Layer 3 Gigabit at the core. Designed for robust and advanced networks, our Layer 3 switches offer a full suite of capabilities to enable future technologies and applications such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), while supporting IEEE-based 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), and provide multiple management options, including SNMP, command line interface (CLI), TELNET and HTTP. Our Layer 2 switches offer intuitive interfaces and affordable pricing, and are equipped with all the features needed for expansion, including various media interfaces, such as fiber optic modules for extended distances and security or radio interference-free connections, perfect for healthcare businesses moving to network management. Our unmanaged switches offer speed options from Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet. With the NETGEAR line of versatile switches, a healthcare firm can comfortably grow from an unmanaged network to a simply managed network to a Layer 3 managed network, benefiting from the same high benchmark of quality, performance, and affordability at every level of expansion.

Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) Technologies
Whether they apply to a single lab application, implementation for total building coverage, or complete communication fulfillment for a broad network with hundreds of devices, NETGEAR provides flexible, cost-effective solutions for every wireless LAN.

NETGEAR’s WiFi-certified wireless technologies extend the range of a cabled Ethernet environment to an entire building, healthcare campus, and beyond by providing easy network access for mobile users. Wireless capability improves the speed and quality of services by allowing wireless point-of-activity networking. This means untethered connectivity between the bedside and medical services. It also means immediate access to current patient data and instant communication to and from the far reaches of a healthcare facility, as well as real-time remote communication with paramedics en route with critical care patients. All with secure data encryption and user authentication.

NETGEAR’s access points, wireless VPN Firewall routers, antennas, single and dual band adapters enable networks of any size to easily integrate wireless and Ethernet technologies for high-speed mobile access to e-mail, the Internet, patient information and network resources, even in hard-to-wire locations. NETGEAR wireless LAN products ensure maximum privacy and security with the highest levels of encryption using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security protocol, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or 802.1x technology. Our extensive line of wireless products supports the 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a standards.
