It is important for us to have a solid network foundation to support 24/7 operations across our healthcare facilities. We use Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s services in other Aster facilities across the UAE, and we appreciate the level of engagement and exceptional post-deployment support we receive. Our new special 55-bed COVID-19 treatment facility was made operational in record time, which is impressive.
