Progress of the Hospitals Project

We wish to keep you informed about the progress of the large project we have on hand - that of installing the IT & Telecommunications infrastructure at the 24 largest State Hospitals around the country. The project is one of the largest so far in Greece, interconnecting more than 8000 workstations.

As you know, this project was initiated early March 2000. It was planned to follow three stages: the design stage, the installation stage, and the stage of transition and good working condition.

We are pleased to report, that the project progresses at a fast pace. The structured cabling infrastructure has already been installed, using Molex Premise Networks products, in most of the Hospitals, while in some other, it will be finalised before the end of November. The active networking equipment (made by CABLETRON Systems) has also been installed in many of them, and these Hospitals are already in transition stage.

Within November, installation of structured cabling will start in the remaining Hospitals, while it will be delayed in some, that had to be re-designed due to specific circumstances (e.g., building repairs or re-construction due to damage by earthquake, etc.)

Allow us to stop here to day, not wishing to take more of your time. We shall return at a later opportunity, to give you information about new projects we have been awarded, and news of our Agencies.
