Spacenet has been selected by Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences Telemedicine Center to provide satellite network services for its new mobile telemedicine clinic. The OSU Center for Health Sciences, its College of Osteopathic Medicine and affiliated teaching hospital support one of the largest statewide telemedicine programs in the nation.

The OSU Telemedicine Center is using Spacenet's satellite network services with Cisco technology to support its mobile medical facility. Spacenet's advanced Connexstar satellite services with auto-acquisition antenna technology provide the ability to rapidly deploy communications solutions virtually anywhere in the United States and serve as an ideal solution for emergency response.

Connexstar services deliver high-performance satellite communications offered in full-time and part-time usage based packages. OSU Telemedicine is utilizing Spacenet's on-demand satellite services to support its data communications and Voice over IP (VoIP) for the mobile telemedicine clinic.

Network Operations Manager for OSU's Telemedicine Center Jon Barnaby said, "The OSU Mobile Telemedicine Clinic will provide a valuable service for the state of Oklahoma by offering access to specialty medical services throughout the region with an emphasis on rural areas.

The use of Spacenet's satellite services provides the flexibility and reliability that we need to support the advanced communication requirements of a mobile telemedicine clinic. In addition, with the medical vehicle being on the road on a scheduled basis, Spacenet's part-time satellite services are an ideal choice for us, providing a cost-effective way to meet our real-time data communications needs."

Spacenet President and COO Glenn Katz said, "We are proud to be able to serve the mission of the OSU Center for Health Sciences with our services. Spacenet has applied its 25 years of experience in supporting mission-critical public and private sector networks to delivering advanced solutions for go-anywhere communications services.

"Our on-demand services combined with transportable auto-acquire antenna solutions make a perfect fit for the needs of users such as telemedicine, emergency response or first responder organizations."
