802.11 Standards
802.11 Standards

Each of the four case studies had the same problem when attempting to upgrade their wireless system: the current network was built using proprietary systems. This means the organization was forced
to use only the components, vendors, and service technicians from that company which could be expensive. To upgrade would involve getting rid of all the hardware to move to an open protocol network as attempting to mix the current equipment with 802.11 standard equipment would not work as they are not compatible. Another issue with the hospital case study is that it could cause the response
time to be longer when patients require immediate assistance. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc or IEEE created 802.11 standards that set physical specifications for wireless and ethernet devices (IEEE Standards Association, 2023). Before this case study could move forward they would need to get rid of all the proprietary/restrictive equipment and replace it with technology that abides by 802.11 standards. I would first hold a meeting with the Chief Information Officer, upper management, nurses, doctors and other staff members that would be using the new equipment to get their needs identified while explaining the many benefits to switching the network to one that follows 802.11 standards. Among these benefits would be having a stable and fast network, less interference, better security, scalability, lower costs and being adaptable to other devices (Mareco, 2011). Once the staff agrees to the
switch the next step would be notifying the old vendor that we will be switching to a new network and they would begin transferring the patient profiles to the new network. This data will include patient’s name, age, medication list, diet, any past or future surgeries and the name of the patient’s doctor. This will benefit the nurses and doctors by not having to toggle between old and new software to identify their patients. While the cost of new global standard of IEEE 802.11 network equipment would be an upfront cost, all the new equipment and devices connected would be beneficial to the hospital while keeping their patients happy. Also, having a recognized standard will be a smooth transition that allows the chance for the hospital to grow or expand while requiring minimal training on the new devices. Attempting to mix the old equipment with new 802.11 standards would not work due to incompatibility issues. The proprietary equipment is costly, only offers very select vendors to fix issues, and downtime due to lack of resources. In a hospital setting, patients rely on the staff to respond to their needs quickly and with up-to-
date equipment. Switching to an IEEE 802.11 standard network will allow doctors to have IP phones in case of an emergency. Staff members will also be able to identify patients and update their information in their rooms more easily with new equipment. Switching to an 802.11 network will provide the hospital faster network speeds while giving room to expand the network in the future.
