About the hospital network
The hospital network provides Wi-Fi access for doctors, both for accessing MIS applications and for Internet access. Wi-Fi is also provided to all patients visiting the hospital as a complimentary service.
Jaze Networks centrally manages users and devices across the Wi-Fi network. It automates guest management as well as access for employee devices, enforcing policy and keeping detailed usage logs and reports.
