Managing a multi-site hospital network means dealing with a patchwork of different networks, vendors, and technologies. Even when you have set up redundant internet links at each location, these connections often share the same physical routes or regional power sources. As a result, a single regional incident can disrupt multiple hospitals at once, slowing down electronic health record (EHR) updates, image sharing, video consultations, and even your security operations center (SOC) monitoring.
Risks Facing Hospital Groups
- Redundant terrestrial links that still share physical routes or power, creating a single point of failure
- Complex, heterogeneous networks across sites and vendors, making it difficult to enforce uniform resilience
- Increased exposure during reform and consolidation (KHVVG): service group assignments and centralized operations require stable, high-availability inter-site connectivity
Satellite: Enabling Resilient, Auditable Cross-Site Connectivity
Adding satellite as the final layer in your hospital group’s connectivity strategy introduces a truly independent path for cross site failover. Modern LEO and MEO satellite services now deliver operational latency suitable for clinical applications, making them a practical solution for hospital group redundancy.
For instance, if a fiber cut disables multiple hospitals in a region, satellite instantly reroutes critical data flows, keeping telemedicine, record sharing, and monitoring online. This rapid response not only preserves patient care but also reduces the operational burden on IT teams, who can rely on automated failover rather than manual interventions. Compliance teams benefit as well, with satellite connectivity generating clear, auditable logs of uninterrupted service for KRITIS, ISO 27001, and NIS 2 standards demonstrating robust availability, effective business continuity management (BCM), and reliable incident communications.
