This is currently New Zealand’s only national health network. We are
the preferred provider to 20 of the country’s DHBs for video
conferencing services. Utilising the structure of a monthly fee
covering all network, support and connectivity gives users, secure,
unrestricted and uncapped access to all other units on the network. As
the network is fully managed, external connectivity is made through two
access points (ISDN and External Internet gateways) that are owned and
support by NZTPS.
The service has seen a five fold increase
in endpoints (12 endpoints to 72) from June 2004 to June 2007 showing
that this medium and method of service delivery has become a core
operating requirement in the New Zealand health environment.
