NextiraOne provides communications for GIE Telemedicine Group

NextiraOne, in collaboration with ISP Mobius Technology, has been selected by the GIE Télémedicine Group to provide secure communications for healthcare professionals and medical centers on the islands of Réunion and Mayotte in the Indian Ocean.

The GIE Télémedicine Group is an organization that brings together the public and private health facilities and the majority of healthcare professionals on the two islands. It manages regional projects related to health information systems, helping to improve patient care.

“Our goal is to create a secure private communications network that will improve collaboration among healthcare professionals in the Indian Ocean and will support the development of the effective solutions and services which we offer to our members,” said Antoine Lerat, director of GIE Télémedicine Group.

Réunion is currently a pilot site for the project, with the establishment of a university hospital across two main sites: Saint-Denis and Saint-Pierre.

“Thanks to NextiraOne and the GIE Télémedicine project, the La Réunion hospitals at Saint-Denis and Saint-Pierre and eventually all healthcare professionals on the island will be able to benefit from many services, including video conferencing, telephone, Internet access and remote maintenance of medical devices by external providers. There are more than 1500 users per site who will benefit from the 1Gbps high speed interconnection between the two institutions, the range of communications services and the 24-hour support,” said Dominique Talandier, deputy director at the directorate of information systems and organisation of the Réunion University Hospital.

NextiraOne has implemented a MPLS network operated by Mobius Internet Technology to facilitate seamless access to medical resources. NextiraOne has also installed a high-availability Cisco 6509 infrastructure, a security system and a Polycom RMX Bridge 150 video conferencing system. The solution is completed with a conference server and CA VBP 5300 Firewall.
