access to some of our intranet applications. What are the different
combinations of technologies that might do this? We would be looking for
something that is fairly wide ranging. This will be for our mobile blood
drives where we go to different business and organizational locations all
over the Central Northern California area to collect blood. We are
exploring the possibility of having our staff at these locations connected
to our data and application resources so that they can have access to data
such as a repeat donor's medical history as well as the ability to update
and add new data in real time.
I'm guessing that at this time public wireless (WLAN/WWAN) access points
could be very hit or miss, especially in the smaller communities and rural
areas on whether the staff would have a connection at any given location.
What about cellular modems or Satellite modems? Are either/both of these
reliable and widely available? What are the security concerns we would need
to look into? The data being flown through the air would be under HIPPA
restrictions, and we would want to be very confidant in the security of the
transmission and the data, as well as not opening up holes in our network
security that could allow breaches.
I would really love any recommendations on any resource we can use to
research the pros, cons and requirements of various options. If there are
any other technologies I haven't mentioned in my first brainstorm of this
please chime in.
I'm off to dive into Google to see what I can start to learn.
Thank You
