Kuwait Telecommunications Company – stc has announced that it has successfully implemented a data link connection between the International Hospital and the Ministry of Health (MOH) data center through its technological arm and Internet Service Provider (ISP) Qualitynet.
The 50MB Data Link Service is provided by stc as a free service to support local entities in the battle against the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Mishari Al Hamad, General Manager of Sales and Account Management at stc, lead the project with the Ministry of Health and highlighted that the purpose of establishing the link was to provide a seamless connection between the International Hospital in Salmiya and the MOH data center in the Sabah Health area, allowing ease of access to systems and applications at high data transmission speeds using stc’s latest technology ‘Dedicated Data Access over 5G’.
Considering the necessity to obtain updated medical data related to the virus, it is essential to utilize the latest digital solutions to provide instant and reliable access to critical information.
stc expressed that the implemented 50MB data link service between the two entities will leverage the MOH data center’s existing fiber optic connection to transfer data instantaneously at high speeds. This in return will enable the MOH to access the hospital’s systems and applications stored in their data center, using stc’s latest data transmission solution.
