Hospitals and clinics depend on the network every minute: patient records, medical devices, nurse stations, phones, security cameras and guest Wi-Fi. Navas supplies Navijin network, Wi-Fi, CCTV and voice solutions to healthcare projects. This reference design shows how a typical clinic or small hospital (about 60 beds) can be built on Navijin.
This is a reference design based on typical healthcare requirements. Medical device integration and local healthcare regulations must always be confirmed with the facility's IT and biomedical teams.
What Healthcare Networks Need
- High availability: redundant uplinks and ring protection so a single failure does not stop clinical systems
- Segmentation: clinical systems, medical devices, staff, guests and CCTV on separate VLANs
- Roaming Wi-Fi for nurses using tablets, carts and handsets while they move between wards
- Clear voice for nurse stations, pharmacy, reception and emergency
- CCTV for entrances, pharmacy, corridors and car parks, with good retention
Reference Design: Clinic or Small Hospital with Navijin
| System | Navijin products | Why |
| Core / aggregation | SG3801-16S8C4T managed fibre switch | VLAN, QoS, ACL, 802.1X and ERPS ring for resilience |
| Floor and ward switching | GE2224-24P4C2S-L2 and GE6010-24P4S4C-L2 | PoE+ for APs, phones and cameras; RSTP/MSTP and ring support |
| Wards and corridors | NW-AP625-1G Wi-Fi 6 | 802.11k/v/r roaming for mobile clinical staff; WPA3/802.1X |
| Waiting areas and conference | NW-AP625-2.5G | High-density guest Wi-Fi |
| Patient rooms | NW-AP623M wall-plate APs | Coverage in every room and extra wired ports for devices |
| Voice | VBX3000 IP-PBX, VIP-T70PGN at nurse stations, VIP-V90 video phones for management | HD voice, PoE, secure SIP |
| CCTV | ICD-N7094 corridor domes, ICD-N8095 at entrances and pharmacy, ICB-N9085 outdoor, NRD-0436K NVR | H.265, human detection and long retention |
Security and Compliance Good Practice
- Use 802.1X on staff Wi-Fi and switch ports so only authorised devices join clinical VLANs
- Keep medical devices on their own VLAN, with ACLs that allow only required traffic
- Place CCTV and NVR on a dedicated VLAN, with restricted viewing rights
- Use TLS/SRTP encrypted SIP on phones where supported
- Document the network and keep firmware up to date. Navas can support this under an IT AMC.
Benefits for Healthcare Providers
- Reliable clinical connectivity with ring redundancy and segmented VLANs
- Lower total cost than premium enterprise brands, with no licence fees
- One supplier for switching, Wi-Fi, CCTV and voice
- Local stock and support from Navas in Dubai
