Why Independent Failover Is Essential for Hospital Networks
Hospital operations rely on continuous network uptime. When a regional fault impacts shared ducts, power sources, or core network nodes, so-called "redundant" terrestrial links can fail together causing disruption that quickly snowballs across multiple hospital sites.
Industry analyses consistently show that the cost of hospital IT outage is measured in the thousands per minute. Recent studies cite ranges from €5,300 to €9,000 per minute, with €7,500 per minute now a widely accepted benchmark for hospital downtime cost. For large healthcare enterprises, the financial impact can be even higher, depending on the scope of services affected.
The Practical Solution: Independent Failover with Satellite
The answer is straightforward: add a network path that does not share terrestrial risks. Satellite, positioned as the final layer behind fiber and 5G, delivers truly independent failover. This ensures that critical systems—such as imaging exchange, telemedicine platforms, and administrative workflows remain accessible even during major incidents.
Satellite connectivity provides business continuity in healthcare by protecting operations and financial stability. With a reliable, independent failover path, hospitals can avoid costly interruptions and maintain high standards of patient care.
