URSYS provides secure private network solutions used at remote health clinics for the delivery of patient information and remote consultation applications. Many of these sites are operating under Australian Government Broadband for Health satellite services. URSYS packages the broadband health connections, Citrix servers for running Patient Information Retrieval Systems and VoIP telephony into a secure private network. As a result health services can support multiple remote clinics with data, telephony and PIRS systems operating over the one satellite link. Services can be supported into even the remotest indigenous health clinics.

One such health service is Kimberly Aboriginal Medical Service (KAMSC). The highly successful "Broadband for Health" DoHA initiative, funded the implementation of VSAT communications services and equipment supplied by URSYS and NEWSAT to improve the health services being provided by KAMSC. Soon all individual data links to these clinics will be consolidated into one prioritized space segment producing significant performance gains and cost savings.

With up to 15% improvement in the performance of their PIRS system and a saving of 10% in monthly operating costs, the change over to a managed prioritized Space Segment was well worth the effort.

As well as operational and performance benefits the optimized Clinics now have access to low cost Voice over Internet Protocol, commonly known as VoIP, where Clinic to Clinic calls a free and national calls are set at 10 cents per un-timed call, representing a huge operational cost saving to the Clinical budget!

With this successful trial completed, the path is now set to convert all BfH funded clinics onto managed space segments.
