The main use is for medical records. Is there any form of wireless system that we could use. We dont want to be twiddling fingers waiting for information to be transferred. The laptops are being used for space reasons in the consult rooms.	Guest (0)

But I suggest that you might have to look at some sort of enciphering ...you are putting the information through a radio transmitter. People with similar wireless cards can receive your network packets. Medical records are meant to be confidential. (They said cellular phones were untappable...).	Guest (0)

A PCMCIA card for the lappies would cost NZ$1,021. Its plug and play but make sure you have the 128bit WEP encryption. You can have the access key changing every 10 minutes and attenuate the power to 1mW internal to the AP to minimise coverage.	Guest (0)
