For Immediate Release: 26-May-2010

AUSTRALIA –  Shortly after becoming a Gold Aruba partner, GlobalConnect Australia has signed its first wireless customer – a significant deal with one of the largest area health providers in the NSW healthcare sector.

This large-scale roll-out will connect wireless enabled devices via a centrally managed Aruba network, providing medical staff with increased access to patient records, data and create opportunities for collaboration.

Greg Barnes, Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand, Aruba Networks indicated GlobalConnect is a relatively new partner that has quickly demonstrated its commitment to driving results for Aruba in Australia.

“GlobalConnect identified the value proposition unique to the healthcare sector where budgets are tight so cost effectiveness is important but access to information is often life-critical so there can be no compromise on a wireless network that is highly reliable and secure. GlobalConnect will provide this new healthcare customer with a robust, high-performance, secure wireless network enabling employees to access health records on campus anytime, anywhere.

GlobalConnect has proven its capabilities as a leading solutions integrator in the Australian marketplace and we aim to extend the benefits of wireless technology further through this partnership.”

Pushkar Taneja, Managing Director, GlobalConnect Australia, added, “There are a many reasons to celebrate this win given this hospital network is now at the forefront of technology innovation and clinical care. Not only will the wireless network immediately increase the efficiency of information access, but it is now the foundation for future converged communications advances. This a significant win and we aim to replicate our success in the networking market through our solid relationship with Aruba.”
