- Ambitious International Program Targets Solutions, Channel and Customers
Trapeze Networks, a Belden Brand (NYSE: BDC), today announced an ambitious program, "Trapeze Medical," with the goal of extending the company's leadership in the international Wireless LAN healthcare market. Trapeze Medical is focused on three strategies: It will increase the number of Medical-Grade Mobility(TM) solutions available to the hospitals, clinics and residential care facilities, help Trapeze Networks' cadre of channel partners become more effective deploying mobile healthcare solutions, and work with its global base of existing medical customers to ensure the company has a complete understanding of the ever-changing mobile healthcare market requirements for ubiquitous, highly-reliable wireless networking.
"Healthcare, specifically the medical component of healthcare has been an early and enthusiastic wireless networking adopter," said Bart Tillmans, vice president of worldwide marketing at Trapeze Networks.
