Speedcast Hospital Custom
Connectivity Solution
S

peedcast is providing the Western
Highlands Provincial Health Authority in
Papua New Guinea with a custom private
C-band VSAT network for more reliable,
cost-effective connectivity for several local
hospitals.
This solution will ensure consistent internet
service and reliable hospital to hospital
communications.
Western Highlands Provincial Health
Authority required high-availability internet and
a WAN connectivity solution at Mount Hagen
Hospital in PNG, as well as at other district
and provisional hospitals.
"Speedcast worked closely with us to
create a solution that would fit our specific
connectivity and budget requirements,"
says David Vorst, Chief Executive Officer
of the Western Highlands Provincial Health
Authority. "Thanks to Speedcast's help,
we can now bring a much-needed, reliable
internet connection to Mt. Hagen and connect

to our other Western Highlands regional
and provincial hospitals reliably and at high
speed."
Speedcast worked with Western Highlands
Provincial Health Authority to develop a
customized MESH solution that guarantees
service uptime of 99.5 percent availability. The
solution will bring reliable connectivity to each
hospital and also allow district and provisional
hospitals to connect to Mount Hagen. In
the first stage of the project, Speedcast will
provide 10/10 Mbps of internet connectivity
to Mount Hagen Hospital. Next, Speedcast
will install a Mini-HUB solution to connect the
remaining district and provisional hospitals.
The Speedcast network allows doctors to
send x-ray or ultrasound images to anywhere
in the world so they can have these reported
to support the diagnosis made by clinicians in
areas where there are no radiologists.
