| Limit User Access | Cloud NAC and Universal ZTNA |
| Secure Medical Devices | Identity-based policies |
| Contain Ransomware Spread | Automated microsegmentation |
| Audit Access | Network-wide logging and visibility |
| Maintain Availability | Fabric resiliency |
| Support Clinics and Telehealth | Wi-Fi and edge infrastructure |
One architecture, designed to support compliance at every care location.
US Federal Funding Programs
Is your organization ready for RHTP?
States are deploying Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funds to modernize rural healthcare technology. Every telehealth, AI, and connected care investment depends on a network foundation that supports compliance from day one, can be managed centrally, and is ready to scale. Extreme can be that foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Healthcare Wi-Fi and Connectivity
-
Healthcare Wi-Fi and connectivity solutions are the wireless, wired, security, and management technologies that connect clinical systems, medical devices, staff, and patients across care sites. Extreme combines Wi-Fi, switching, fabric-based segmentation, identity-based access, and cloud management so hospitals, clinics, and senior living communities can manage every location from one place.
-
A hospital Wi-Fi network typically needs separate, secured networks for clinical workflows, medical IoT devices, and patient and guest access, along with coverage planning for dense device environments and central management across campuses. Extreme combines cloud-managed Wi-Fi, fabric-based segmentation, and identity-based access. Memorial Göztepe runs a paperless 300-bed hospital on 400 Extreme wireless access points.
-
WPA3-Enterprise with 802.1X authentication is the commonly recommended approach for networks that carry patient data. Each user or device authenticates with its own credentials, and traffic is encrypted. Pair it with segmentation so clinical systems, medical IoT devices, staff, and guests stay on separate networks. Review HHS and NIST guidance to confirm requirements for your organization.
-
Start by identifying every connected device, then place devices in segments that limit access to the systems they need. Identity-based policies and network-wide visibility help IT teams see what is connected and isolate risk. Extreme fabric-enabled segmentation supports this approach across care locations.
-
A network cannot make an organization compliant on its own, but it can support HIPAA technical safeguards. Segmentation isolates systems that hold patient data, identity-based access controls who and what connects, and network-wide logging supports audit readiness. Extreme builds these capabilities into the network design across care locations. Compliance also depends on policies and on how the network is configured and operated.
-
Availability comes from resilient architecture, redundancy, and central visibility that lets IT teams spot and resolve issues early. Extreme Fabric and AI-assisted operations support this approach. ADRZ reports that its core hospital network has not been down for about 11 years.
-
Cloud management, automation, and AI-assisted operations reduce manual work. Extreme Agent ONE™ Coworker helps teams prevent problems and resolve issues faster. Prima CARE reports 80% fewer support tickets across more than 20 medical offices using ExtremeCloud IQ.
-
Look for resilient architecture and uptime, segmentation and identity-based access for patient data and medical devices, central management that works across many sites, Wi-Fi designed for dense clinical environments, and healthcare customers who report measurable results. Extreme customers such as ADRZ, OSF HealthCare, Prima CARE, and ULTH report outcomes in uptime, cost, support efficiency, and network consolidation.
