(Newmarket) – The Ontario Research and Innovation Optical Network (ORION) has expanded its reach in York Region with the installation of a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) at Southlake Regional Health Centre.
“Today marks an incredible hallmark for York Region’s health research network, as we spearhead new possibilities. Through the new PoP at Southlake Regional Health Centre, ORION is immensely pleased to help connect institutions essential to the optical fibre network of this municipality and beyond, connecting more researchers to other world-class health research.” says Dr. Darin Graham, CEO and President, ORION. “Collaboration is the key to how we can innovate health research, and we hope that Southlake serves as a remarkable inspiration to hospitals in other regions of Ontario.”
The new PoP at Southlake is connected via a 10 gigabit per second optical fibre link to another located at York University and is ORION’s first such PoP installation in a medical facility. This is a significant development and it will provide tremendous support to Southlake’s efforts to push the boundaries of medical science and health informatics.
