The G3 Gateway is an essential networking service module for hospital bedside terminals, acting as the central hub to bridge smart medical devices and the MT15 infotainment terminal. Equipped with dual ZigBee and Wi-Fi radios, the G3 enables seamless, secure communication across your facility’s wireless infrastructure. Clinicians and patients alike can monitor and adjust connected devices in real time via the familiar MT15 interface, streamlining workflows and enhancing in-room comfort.
Key Functions
Dual-Mode Wireless Connectivity
-
ZigBee: Low-power, mesh-capable network for reliable links to bedside sensors, infusion pumps, and environmental controls
-
Wi-Fi: High-bandwidth transport for video streaming, data uploads, and integration with hospital EMR and asset-tracking systems
MT15 Software Integration
-
Access and manage all connected devices—lighting, climate, monitoring equipment—from the bedside touchscreen or remote app
-
Real-time status dashboards for device health, signal strength, and network topology
Secure Data Transmission
-
AES-128 encryption on ZigBee channels and WPA2/WPA3 security on Wi-Fi
-
Support for VLAN segmentation and hospital network authentication (802.1X)
Automatic Device Discovery
-
Zero-configuration pairing: newly added ZigBee or Wi-Fi–enabled devices appear instantly in the MT15 UI
-
Customizable device naming and grouping to reflect room layout or clinical function
Over-the-Air Updates
-
Firmware and configuration pushed remotely through the hospital’s network, minimizing downtime and ensuring compliance
Compact, Rack-Ready Design
-
1U form factor fits into standard bedside terminal enclosures or network cabinets
-
LED indicators for power, network status, and channel activity
Advantages
-
Unified Control Platform
By consolidating multiple wireless protocols into one gateway, the G3 eliminates separate hubs and reduces cabling complexity.
-
Improved Clinical Efficiency
Real-time remote control and monitoring from the MT15 terminal cuts down on manual rounds and accelerates response to alarms or patient requests.
-
Robust Reliability
Mesh networking via ZigBee ensures continuous operation even if individual nodes fail, while dual-band Wi-Fi offers fallback paths for critical data.
-
Enhanced Security & Compliance
Enterprise-grade encryption and network authentication safeguard patient data and device integrity, helping meet HIPAA and IEC 60601-1 requirements.
-
Future-Proof Scalability
Easily expand your smart ecosystem by adding new medical IoT devices without additional infrastructure — the G3 dynamically adapts as your needs grow.
-
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
Centralized management, over-the-air updates, and minimized hardware footprint lower installation and maintenance expenses over the system’s lifetime.
