Colubris and PanGo Partner for Mobile Health Care Wi-Fi Solutions; Partnership Integrates PanGo Location Aware Technology with Colubris Multi-Service Wireless System.WALTHAM, Mass. -- Colubris Networks and PanGo Networks, a leading provider of location aware systems for WiFi Networks See wireless Ethernet and 802.11. , today announced a global technology, sales and marketing agreement to provide integrated mobile health care solutions. The first of its kind solution combines PanGo's location-aware system with Colubris' multi-service, enterprise wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area system (WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network ) allowing hospital staff and caregivers to increase enterprise asset visibility by tracking critical medical equipment, key personnel and patients faster, thus improving operating efficiencies while saving millions of dollars per year in lost productivity and revenue. "Successfully deploying wireless systems requires tremendous confidence in the networks supporting these emerging applications," said Michael Campbell Michael Shane Campbell CNZM (born February 23, 1969) is a New Zealand golfer who is best-known for having won the 2005 US Open and the richest prize in golf, the £1,000,000 HSBC World Match Play Championship, in the same year.

"Colubris' commitment to open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced and innovations in the areas of secure, reliable and scalable wireless infrastructure are a solid foundation for PanGo's location aware applications." The combination provides an ideal choice for institutions interested in deploying mobile asset tracking and dispatching applications on leading edge WLAN infrastructure to instantly deliver location-relevant information to the right healthcare professional. Colubris' ability to simultaneously support a mix of enterprise devices, applications and services - while protecting the security and QoS required by each - makes it an ideal choice for integrating location tracking services with other enterprise WLAN applications. "PanGo is the first to build a total Asset Tracking system that leverages a standard Wi-Fi network See wireless Ethernet and 802.11. infrastructure," said Barry Fougere, president and CEO, Colubris Networks.
