Case Study: SA Health builds a scalable, resilient network with Vocus

SA Health connects 140 sites with Vocus for scalable healthcare delivery

SA Health, the government health agency for South Australia, faced the challenge of improving network connectivity to hospitals and healthcare sites across its geographically diverse state. They needed a resilient and secure foundation to support digital transformation while controlling costs. They turned to vendor Vocus for a solution involving high-speed symmetric connectivity.

Vocus implemented a network solution providing 100mbps to 1Gbps connectivity to 140 sites, using a mix of its own fibre and wholesale infrastructure. This provided the foundation for digital services like telehealth and ensured critical infrastructure regulation compliance. The scalable and resilient network was crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing Vocus to rapidly deploy infrastructure for testing clinics. The solution ensured regional locations had access to the same health services as urban areas.
