By David Shaywitz Since Lisa Suennen already captured beautifully the distinction between the SXSW and HIMSS crowds last year, I won?t belabor the point, other than to say that with all the ties and blue blazers present at today?s Real Endpoints Symposium in Philadelphia, no one would mistake the attendees for Austin hipsters; I was grateful not to get tossed for wearing jeans. …read more

Black Box Launches and Deploys InnerWirelessHD3-WLAN ™
High-density wireless LAN solution provides the high capacity necessary to keep up with today’s wireless demands
PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Black Box Corporation (NAS: BBOX) , a leading communications system integrator, announced today that it has launched InnerWirelessHD3-WLAN, an advanced Wi-Fi solution designed specifically to support high density user environments.
Wi-Fi usage is growing by more than 60% each year, leaving many organizations scrambling to provide reliable Wi-Fi service. Consumer-grade devices such as smartphones and tablets are being offloaded from wireless service provider networks to the enterprise wireless local area network (WLAN). Applications such as voice over WLAN and wireless point-of-care devices require mission-critical performance. Medical-grade devices require the ultimate in Wi-Fi performance.
Black Box‘s InnerWirelessHD3-WLAN enables organizations to meet the challenge of these increased demands on their wireless infrastructure by creating the wireless capacity and unsurpassed coverage to support the highest usage levels. This cutting-edge technology enables multiple, independent WLANs to coexist in high-traffic areas and ensures that all users experience fast, efficient wireless access.
“In healthcare, where mission-critical Wi-Fi is key to mobile health initiatives such as wireless point-of-care devices and telemedicine, Black Box‘s InnerWireless offerings have already been successfully deployed with top-ranked hospitals, enabling facility-wide, high-capacity Wi-Fi,” said Kevin Swank, Director of Product Marketing for Black Box.
Black Box‘s InnerWirelessHD3-WLAN is the Wi-Fi solution that provides both the coverage and capacity to keep up with expanding connectivity demands and is fully compatible with industry-standard, enterprise-grade access points from Cisco® and Aruba®.
Black Box is demonstrating its InnerWirelessHD3-WLAN along with its comprehensive portfolio of healthcare technology solutions this week at the HIMSS 2013 conference at Booth 5813.

The Fork That Buzzed CES 2013
By Dan Munro My annual trek to Las Vegas for CES included no less than 3 separate events (among many to chose from). The New Media Expo (NMX), The Digital Health Summit (DHS) and the big show itself ? the Consumer Electronic Show (CES). Needless to say, it was a full week.
Turns out this was also the largest CES in the show’s 45 year history with over 3,250 exhibitors unveiling some 20,000 new products to more than 150,000 attendees (35,000 of which trekked in from 170+ countries outside the U.S.). As with every year, there’s no way to really capture all of CES, so I don’t even try. These are just some of the highlights I saw at the growing intersection of consumer electronics and healthcare.
Similar to last year, my primary interest was the Digitial Health Summit which included Nationally recognized healthcare thought leaders like Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Reed Tuckson and Dr. Otis Brawley. Given the clinical and often insular nature of traditional healthcare events (HIMSS, mHealth and AHIP Institute to name a few), it’s refreshing to see healthcare embedded so directly into both the CES conference and exhibit hall. My biggest single takeaway is that the bright line between clinical health and personal wellness (especially as it relates to data collection) is definitely blurring ? and that’s a good thing. DHS added live interviews this year and many of those can be seen on the DHS YouTube channel (including my own ad-hoc interview with Dr. Otis Brawley).
