Network upgrades support heath care growth in rural Iowa
GCN | By Stephanie Kanowitz | January 4, 2022
To improve networking speed and capacity at state hospitals and clinics, the ICN engineered and implemented site upgrades to the Iowa Rural Health Telecommunications Program (IRHTP), a consortium that connects about 85 health facilities to a dedicated broadband fiber network.
As part of the project, ICN, a state agency, installed new switches and migrated broadband services from a legacy platform to the new Multiprotocol Label Switching network. It installed core equipment at 21 locations and aggregation at 23 sites, feeding 91 hospitals.
