Coventry Teaching PCT

ANS Group will be providing a new LAN/WAN environment to support future growth of the Coventry Teaching PCT's network and services.

The LAN/WAN services will be based on dual core Cisco catalyst switches with diverse routing and resilient gigabit connections to give a 5 9's SLA to end users. Along with this a Cisco IP Telephony solution will be placed in the network. This allows the PCT to connect into the existing Siemens system and migrate to a fuller functionality Cisco system. The system also includes unified messaging solutions with email integration.   Coventry Teaching PCT is an NHS organisation responsible for ensuring that the 300,000 plus people that live in Coventry have access to the healthcare they need. The PCT works with local authorities and other agencies that provide health and social care locally to make sure that Coventry's health needs are being met.
