Chengdu Weikangxing Network Technology Ltd and PolarSat Inc deployed a mobile VSATPlus 3 satellite communications network for a multimedia telemedicine application supporting remote health services delivered throughout the Chinese Sichuan province.
Montreal Canada, March 31, 2010 – PolarSat Inc. the technology leader in full mesh hubless VSAT communication equipment, today announces the successful completion of a mobile telemedicine VSATPlus 3 VSAT network system deployment demonstration.
This VSAT network has been established to upgrade the regional information network that supports the rapid deployment of health resources to the remotest locations. This involves mobile clinics or medical teams being able to be quickly dispatched to remote locations to treat patients while always maintaining contact with the distant medical center. Implementing this system has been a high priority since the SARS epidemic and most recently the H1N1.
Director Su of the emergence office in Sichuan Provincial Health Bureau stated that, "the advanced communication equipment and management software used in this demonstration provided a mobile satellite station communication solution for the whole province including the most remote areas to meet the urgent requirements that arise in an emergency situation. The demo is very successful and has established the solid foundation for the Sichuan Health Emergence Control platform to be a template for other provinces in China”.
The VSATPlus 3 system provides effective multimedia communications links from the remote locations to the main hospital allowing doctors at main hospital to actually see the patients and provide diagnoses that require visual and diagnostic information. The VSATPlus 3 demonstrated hub-less full mesh connectivity delivering remote support for remote diagnosis via Voice, Video, FAX, Data file transfers, Internet/Intranet and email. The medical staff needed little to no training to set up the remote network equipment. The remote station provided easy and rapid deployment through the use of a vehicle outfitted an auto deploy antenna system in conjunction with fast acquisition capability of the VSATPlus 3.
Madame Yu, the general manager of Chengdu Weikangxing Network Technology Ltd. --- PolarSat's local partner in Southwest of China, stated "comparing with other VSAT systems, PolarSat's VSATPlus 3 product provides a hubless system that is easy to use and install while demonstrating stable and reliable performance. It is the best solution in the VSAT market, and that is why we selected it after trying other systems. The professional support in China from PolarSat has left us with a very good impression of the company and it's capabilities."
