The Proxicast LAN-Cell 3 3G/4G Router instantly provides fast, reliable and secure communications for remote medical monitoring and telehealth applications using the latest high-speed 3G/4G (LTE, HSPA+) cellular technologies.
Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) June 18, 2012
Proxicast (http://www.proxicast.com)The new Proxicast LAN-Cell 3 VPN 3G/4G Router is ideal for remote medical monitoring and telehealth applications. The new LAN-Cell 3 provides fast, reliable and cost-effective wireless Internet access over any 3G/4G (LTE, HSPA+) network worldwide. The LAN Cell 3 router is excellent for secure remote patient monitoring and telemedical applications such as:
-
Remote Vital Sign Monitoring
- Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Respiration, Glucose
- Electronic Home Healthcare & Wellness Visits
- Remote Nursing & Telemedicine
- Home-Based Dialysis Monitoring
- Remote Cardiac and Multi-Parameter Monitoring
- Self-Monitoring Medical Devices
- Telesurgery, Teleradiology,Telepathology
- Telemental Heath & Telepsychology
- Ambulances & Emergency Medical Vehicle’s
- Mobile Medical Vans, Trucks & Trailers
- Hospital & Clinical Outreach Programs
“Our telehealth customers are no longer blind to what is happening when their patients go home. They can now can closely monitor and interact with the patient from anywhere,” said Jim Sabol, COO of Proxicast. Typical telemedical applications revolve around disease management and include COPD, Chronic Heart Failure, Diabetes, Coagulation, Arthritis, Depression and Obesity. The LAN-Cell 3 mobile router can be deployed in just a few minutes at a patient’s residence – no waiting for the telephone or cable company to install Internet service. For many rural customers, cellular data service may be their only high-speed connectivity option. Today’s 3G/4G cellular data networks are a fast, reliable and secure way to move medical data.
Often the LAN-Cell 3 mobile router is used to enable basic remote medical monitoring. “It may not be considered cutting-edge, but it save lives and cuts costs,” said Mr. Sabol. Sending medical professionals and equipment to patients’ homes can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars per visit. With the LAN-Cell 3 connected to the necessary medical equipment, remote diagnostics can be performed instantly from any Internet connection. The LAN-Cell 3 is also an excellent communications gateway for mobile and in-vehicle applications such as mobile medical vehicles and community healthcare delivery trailers.
When used on high speed 4G networks, the LAN-Cell 3 makes remote medical video applications and monitoring practical and cost-effective. A doctor or nurse is able to actually see the patient on high resolution video. For example, a patient being treated for diabetic issues may have their glucose monitor connected to the LAN-Cell 3 and an inexpensive video camera can allow remote medical personnel to observe common diabetic wound care issues.
The LAN-Cell 3 accepts almost any Internet or TCP/IP enabled device. Serial-based (RS-232, RS 422 or USB) legacy devices can be connected via an inexpensive serial-to-Ethernet converter. The LAN Cell 3 mobile router can also combine multiple medical and telehealth devices into single 3G/4G data stream utilizing a single cellular account typically costing $50 to $60 per month, saving thousands of dollars per year per site.
The LAN-Cell 3 supports 2G, 3G and 4G cellular modem standards, but the LAN-Cell 3 is specifically designed to take advantage of the new high speed 4G (LTE, HSPA+) networks. It supports many of the currently available off-the-shelf 4G USB modems. With speeds of up to 27 Mbps, many new high-bandwidth mobile applications are now possible. The LAN-Cell 3 mobile router also offers a full VPN with 3DES & AES encryption to keep medical data safe and secure.
Key advantages of the LAN-Cell 3 mobile router include:
- Open upgradable architecture - high speed 3G/4G USB modem slot and external antenna ports
- Supports LTE, HSPA+, EV-DO, 1x, HSPA, HSUPA, HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS USB modems

T-Mobile slashes data roaming prices for EU - The Guardian
T-Mobile has unveiled details of a market-leading tariff for consumers who want access to the internet through mobile phones while overseas, and announced plans that will prevent customers experiencing "bill shock" when they return from travelling.
The cost of using your mobile phone to access the internet is set to fall dramatically across Europe from 1 July following implementation of rules to stop UK mobile providers setting excessive charges.
It means holidaymakers may finally be able to chat to friends on Facebook or watch YouTube on the beach without breaking the bank.
Some consumers have suffered bill shock after unwittingly running-up charges amounting to thousands of pounds while on holiday, after leaving data-hungry smartphone apps running in the background.
Source: consumerchoices.co.uk However, mobile providers are introducing lower roaming charges and deals on data allowances in anticipation of tighter pricing controls.
T-Mobile will allow customers to buy "booster" deals, based on how much data they wish to use, and will completely block overseas internet usage until customers purchase one of the new packages (available from 18 June).
Comparison site Broadband Choices said T-Mobile was the best option for consumers wishing to use the internet briefly, buying 3MB worth of data for just £1 or 33p per MB.
However heavy internet users might find other tariffs cheaper than T-mobile's larger bundles, which are priced at £5 for 20MB and £10 for 50MB (both have time limits).
Three is offering an "all-you-can-eat" tariff, the Euro Internet Pass, for £5, while Vodafone will allow customers to use their existing UK plan overseas for an extra £3 a day.
However Three's Euro Internet Pass will not allow streaming or tethering – where a mobile is linked to a laptop to enable internet access.
For frequent travellers Virgin Mobile's new data passes, available from 25 June2012, are valid for three months or until the data is used up, so there is no need to use all the data allowance within 24 hours. This makes the £3 charge for 5MB or £5 for 10MB reasonably cost effective.
A megabyte of data is equivalent to accessing eight normal web pages or 200 emails without attachments, according to Which?. You would need 10MB to download one music track.
The Guardian has reported on several cases of mobile bill shock in recent weeks, including that of Alexandra Xanthaki, who faced a £2,600 bill after using an iPhone app to find restaurants on a short trip abroad.
Consumers can also end up considerably out of pocket if their phone is stolen. Johan Potgieter, was landed with a £9,000 bill from Orange after thieves stole his phone while he was on holiday in South Africa.
The EU ruling caps charges imposed by UK network providers for overseas roaming.
From 1 July, the cost of data can be no more than €0.70 per MB, plus VAT, which is around 69p. This will then fall to 45 cents plus VAT, around 36p, in July 2013 and 20 cents plus VAT (around 16p) in July 2014 – vastly cheaper than some UK providers' current European rates.
Orange, for example, charges £3.07 per MB if you want to surf the net in Europe, while Three's pre-EU ruling fee is £1.28 per MB.
But some of the new pricing plans are not straightforward , with some only available to contract customers, leaving pay-as-you-go users facing higher costs, while others penalise light internet users.
Dominic Baliszewski from Broadband Choices said: "Even with these new lower costs, charges can quickly rack up. A £3 charge is still a lot if you're only using 1MB to quickly check your emails. A £3 data charge per day will cost £42 if used daily over a two week trip."
The EU rule does not affect the prices providers can charge for data roaming outside the European Union but from 1 July, people travelling further afield will at least get a warning text message, email or pop-up window from their mobile provider when they are nearing €50 of data downloads, or their pre-agreed level. Consumers will then have to confirm they are happy to go over this level in order to continue their data roaming.
