How Peplink Transformed 27 Clinics in Just Days

How Peplink Turned 27 Clinics into Connectivity Powerhouses in Just Days

Imagine transforming the network infrastructure of 27 clinics across the U.S. in mere days—zero downtime, seamless scalability, and a performance boost that keeps healthcare running smoothly. Sounds like a tech fairy tale, right? Well, that’s exactly what Peplink achieved for Can Community Health, a lifeline for underserved communities, and it’s a story worth diving into.

In a recent Peplink University webinar, we got the inside scoop on how Peplink’s cutting-edge networking solutions revolutionized 27 clinics, enhancing everything from patient services to telehealth capabilities. Spoiler alert: it’s a masterclass in reliability, innovation, and getting things done fast. Let’s break it down.

A Seven-Year Journey to Unbreakable Connectivity

Can Community Health had a problem: unreliable ISPs were dragging down their VoIP systems and network performance across 27 clinics. Enter Peplink. What started as a quest for "unbreakable VoIP" seven years ago turned into a full-blown transformation. Peplink didn’t just patch a hole—they rebuilt the foundation.

The journey kicked off with a test run of the Balance 380 at the Tuttle location. After a month and a half of tinkering, the team knew they’d struck gold. Peplink’s ecosystem—routers, switches, and SpeedFusion tech—consolidated systems, boosted control, and delivered rock-solid connectivity. The result? A network that could handle 27 clinics like a champ, all managed with precision.

Zero Downtime, Maximum Impact

Here’s where it gets impressive: Peplink pulled off this transformation with zero downtime. Using a non-intrusive pilot, they integrated routers alongside existing setups, scaling up without a hitch. IPSEC tunnels laid the groundwork, and an upgrade to SpeedFusion took it to the next level—think faster, more reliable connections that don’t flinch under pressure.

In Florida, the team preconfigured 27 routers in Virginia, shipped them to Miami and beyond, and had clinics up and running in record time. Tags and automation made global configuration a breeze, proving that Peplink’s feature-rich platform isn’t just powerful—it’s efficient.

Mobile Medicine Meets Instant Connectivity

For Can Community Health, mobility matters. Peplink delivered portable solutions for mobile medical units, letting clinics hit the ground running without waiting for ISP installs. Picture this: SDX routers with dual 5G and triple 4G modules powering up 35 clinics (yep, they scaled beyond the initial 27!), backed by 10-gig ports and fiber redundancy. It’s a routing aggregation system that screams resilience.

And the cost? Peplink’s approach slashed complexity and expenses, offering cloud-centric clinics a scalable, high-performing lifeline. Whether it’s a mobile unit or a brick-and-mortar site, Peplink’s design keeps the wheels turning.

Seven Years of Compliance and Consistency

Fast forward seven years, and Peplink’s still holding strong. With minimal downtime (just one router hiccup from an electrical event), predictable costs, and compliance locked in, leadership’s all-in—no pushback here. The data center’s upgrade to the 5000 series with 100-gigabit interfaces and SpeedFusion VPN has only sweetened the deal, juicing up connectivity speeds and performance with every firmware tweak.

Telehealth Takes Flight with HD4 MVX 5G

Telehealth’s a game-changer, but it demands bandwidth and reliability. Peplink answered with the HD4 MVX 5G router, standardizing it across a nationwide mobile fleet. Remote areas? No problem. Video visits? Crystal clear. Port switches added flexibility, letting clinics swap locations without compatibility headaches. It’s connectivity that bends without breaking.

Starlink and Beyond: The Future of Flexibility

Peplink’s versatility doesn’t stop at clinics. They’ve even teamed up with Starlink for maritime applications and resilient backups, bonding it with cellular networks for stability that doesn’t compromise throughput. Packet loss and latency? Handled. It’s a consistent UI across mobile and stationary setups—proof that Peplink’s built for the real world.

The Takeaway: Peplink Delivers

From preconfigured routers to 2.5 Gbps uplinks hitting 600 Mbps in testing, Peplink’s platform is a powerhouse. It’s easy to deploy, high-performing, and backed by responsive support. Even in high-security environments, it shines—just ask the team who went from doubting certain switches to planning a massive upgrade after seeing them in action.

For Can Community Health, Peplink didn’t just solve a problem; it redefined what’s possible. Twenty-seven clinics transformed in days, seven years of reliability, and a future-proof network that’s ready for anything—telehealth, mobile units, or beyond. If you’re eyeing a connectivity upgrade, Peplink’s worth a look. After all, who wouldn’t want a network that works this hard—and this fast?
