Zero Downtime: Designing Fault-Tolerant Healthcare Communications

Delivering Uninterrupted Voice Services for Critical Healthcare Operations

Project Overview

When a major healthcare provider approached us to design a fully resilient telecommunications system for their hospitals, we knew that even seconds of downtime could impact patient care. They needed a solution that would maintain communications under any circumstances.

Key Achievement: Years after implementation, the system has maintained 100% uptime with zero unplanned outages in critical healthcare environments.

Our Solution

We designed and implemented a comprehensive fault-tolerant network featuring:

Redundant Infrastructure:

Duplicate Mitel call control systems
Redundant ancillary applications
