Multi-Tech hardware is more physically robust than the mobile phone and has withstood short-term vehicle deployment well. Having a proven hardware already developed and tested certainly shortens the path to a commercially viable deployment solution.

We chose Multi-Tech because of their reputation for delivering quality products that could withstand the rigors of use by lifesaving teams and their willingness to work with us to develop a customized interface for use as a gateway with the LIFEPAK® defibrillator,” said David Lampert, Network Operations Manager at Physio-Control. “In addition, Multi-Tech’s international certification team enabled us to deploy these solutions around the globe and implement a global standard for gateway connectivity products for the LIFEPAK 12/15 product line

When we first launched, medics used cell phones to transport data to the LIFENET System and there were challenges with hardware durability and dropped connections. For hospital care teams, being able to gather as much data about a patient ahead of arrival helps to plan for that patient, be better prepared, and reduce time-to-treatment. Having faster data speeds allows for the communication of larger amounts of data more quickly, and we only see the need for data increasing. We use the open communications gateway from Multi-Tech to stay equipped with the latest wireless technologies.”
