Adesta, a G4S Technology firm, has started the deployment of $18-million Rural Nebraska Healthcare Network (RNHN), a fiber-optic network that will stretch to 750 miles and will cover western Nebraska’s 12 counties. The company specializes in system integration for electronic security systems and communication networks.
The RNHN is a group of dozens of clinics and nine primary care hospitals. The 750-mile fiber-optic network will link these facilities and national research networks including Internet 2 and National Lambda Rail in Denver, Colorado.
The RNHN, if completed, will become an advanced and intense medical fiber-optic network in Nebraska. The project uses funds from the Federal Communications Commission’s Rural Healthcare Pilot Program, Fiberutilities Group, Zayo Group and Regional West Foundation.
President at Adesta, Bob Sommerfeld commented that the enhanced fiber-optic medical network would offer a number of advantages to patients such as real-time access and electronic medical records. It would reduce expenditures, error and would eventually save lives, he added.
