Bel Air Internet Makes Five Star Communication Services Available Bedside at New Century City Doctors Hospital

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Century City Doctors Hospital has selected Bel Air Internet as its communications partner to offer patients at the newly re-opened hospital state-of-the-art communication and video services. From satellite television and movies on demand displayed on flat screens to broadband internet access at each patient's bedside, Bel Air Internet joined forces with Century City Doctors Hospital (CCDH) and Siemens Information Networks to offer a level of service most often associated with five star hotels. The process of working through the complexities of integrating this digital delivery system constituted a year long effort. This effort culminated in the successful installation of communication solutions with patients' comfort and convenience as the primary focus.

In order to assist the hospital in meeting their goal of setting the new standard for patient comfort and hospital care, the IT staff at CCDH sought out providers who shared their vision. Bel Air Internet was chosen because of their expertise in the area of broadband data communication services and video/satellite tv delivery systems. According to David Kerrins, CIO for CCDH, "There are three key measures for performance: Quality, Timeliness and Cost. Usually, you have to sacrifice one of these in order to optimize the other two. Bel Air Internet is one of the few vendors that presented well in all three areas." A project as large in scope as the CCDH project requires a collaborative effort involving a variety of different companies with various areas of technical expertise to all work together to ensure success. "When you deal with professionals at this level you need to bring your 'A' game," Terry Koosed, President of Bel Air Internet said.

Bel Air Internet will provide CCDH with sophisticated bedside broadband internet access, satellite television and movies on demand. Aimed at helping CCDH to provide the most advanced and reliable communication services to their patients, Bel Air Internet utilizes a highly developed wireless technology that delivers ultra broadband internet access at guaranteed synchronous speeds that far exceed standard DSL or cable service. Additionally, Bel Air Internet is providing satellite television offering a 100% digital-quality viewing experience featuring hundreds of channels including all Los Angeles local channels as well as the option of video on demand for all CCDH patients.
