MedNET: TeleMedicine over AmerHis system

This paper presents MEDNET's EC FP7 project telemedicine network solution and its validation performed during the integration and validation phase. This network solution runs over AmerHis broadband satellite multimedia commercial system, embarked over AMAZONAS1 satellite and owned by HISPASAT. During the integration and validation phase of the telemedicine network solution, different medical applications have been merged into a telemedicine solution that has been validated over AmerHis In-Factory test-bed. The test-bed replicates the core network architecture that will be deployed in the Brazilian and Peruvian sites involved in MedNET. It also satisfies the TeleMedicine requirements of the project. The results are valuable inputs to the ongoing field installation phase. ©2009 IEEE.
