Meeting Sponsor
Sprint is a Fortune 100 company with over 40,000 employees. Sprint generate over 32 Billion in 2010 and was the first to launch 4G network in 2009. We currently serve more than 52 million business, government, and individual customers. Currently, Sprint’s main focus is Machine-to-Machine (M2M) which represents the largest growth opportunity for wireless network providers. It could help increase wireless penetration by up to 300 Percent. To meet this increasing demands, the Emerging Solutions group was formed. The Emerging Solutions group has seen specifically high numbers opportunity in the area of healthcare. Sprint also sees the emergence of the tablet and the EMR Mandate as an opportunity! Companies will be forced to address mobile security concerns, especially the access of electronic medical records outside of the security of their existing firewalls. Sprint’s Emerging Solutions’ group recently partner up with 3gLogix to implement a project with a healthcare company to allow confidential information to be viewed remotely at the patient site utilizing there secure dual layer authentication product, DynaPass. This allowed the clinical data to be entered locally and then instantly transferred back to the clinic center for immediate healthcare billing. The project product roll-out was a Samsung 7” tablet (2.2 Android OS) running off Sprint CDMA 3G network securely, without any need of encryption or VPN to slow down the process. “Sprint has redefined M2M opportunities for business only 12 months after launching Emerging Solutions Unit.” -CNBC.com
