Here are the top trends in wireless technology as discussed by Comport.

• The IoT - As a whole, the IoT is moving in whether you want it or not. Healthcare organizations are working to create guest access for their patients while still providing their staff with secure, instant connections. Modern healthcare organizations are taking advantage of IoT by providing a connected mobile platform for unified guest access.
• Cyber Security Focus - With the continued value of patient records to the cybercriminal world, healthcare organizations need to ensure that they have a focus on security within their wireless environment. New technologies like Aruba Clearpass provide better network access control for better visibility into what's on your network and ability to respond to threats. Keeping up with wireless security in healthcare is a must!

Take advantage of wireless technology like automation, software defined and AI to create more intelligence and determine priorities for better traffic delivery.
