Cisco Ships 5 Millionth Aironet AP to Mayo Clinic

It’s not every day that you announce a major industry milestone like shipping five million wireless access points (since 2000). And adding to that, we shipped more than 50,000 802.11n access points, making it the fastest ramping access point in Cisco history. So where was the five millionth access point shipped to? The world-renowned Mayo Clinic. They are running a Cisco Unified Wireless Network for hospital staff, patients and guests at its three U.S. campuses in Minnesota, Florida and Arizona.

Tune into a video taped from a TelePresence meeting between Randy Regimbal, Mayo Clinic’s director of network services (located in Minnesota) and the leadership team from Cisco’s Wireless Networking Business Unit (located in San Jose, California). Naturally, we thanked Mayo Clinic for being a very deserving recipient of the five millionth access point. Then, Randy talks about how Mayo Clinic is using wireless and mobility applications to improve its operations, enhance patient care, as well as provide a better experience for its patients and guests.

A Q&A with Randy Regimbal on how Mayo Clinic sees efficiency as a major mobility benefit can be read here.
