Fiber Connectivity for California Healthcare Providers

Redundant, dual-path fiber for hospitals, clinics, and dispatch — protecting EHR replication, medical imaging, and telehealth on our vast, carrier-class private backbone.

Clinicians using connected medical systems

Healthcare runs on the network.

Hospitals and clinics cannot schedule downtime. EHR sessions, PACS imaging transfers, telehealth visits, and on-call dispatch all ride the network, and a single cut circuit can ripple across an entire health system in minutes.

Vast Networks engineers dual-path, physically diverse fiber on a private backbone we own end to end — so clinical traffic never touches the public internet between your sites. Every circuit carries a financially-backed carrier-grade uptime SLA and is watched around the clock by our California NOC.

Engineered for the work.

Healthcare connectivity questions

How much bandwidth does a clinic or hospital site need?

Imaging is what sets the number. Routine EHR sessions and telehealth visits are modest consumers; a PACS study moving between facilities, or a night-time replication job, is not, and sizing against the clinical average leaves imaging transfers queued behind everything else. We size for the transfer profile and the concurrency, and we would rather ask for the actual study volumes than estimate them.

Should EHR replication run over the internet or a private path?

A private point-to-point path between facilities is the design worth arguing for. It removes the public internet from the route entirely, gives predictable latency for replication and imaging, and keeps the clinical traffic separate from general internet use at each site. A site-to-site VPN over commodity broadband can work, but its performance is only as predictable as the path underneath it — which is to say, not very.

Can you deliver redundant paths to a hospital?

Where genuinely diverse routes exist near the facility, yes, and that is engineered and documented rather than assumed. Where they do not — and at some sites they do not, at any sensible cost — we say so plainly, because a resilience plan built on a second path that shares a conduit with the first is worse than knowing you have one path. An engineering review of the specific address gives the real answer.

What does telehealth need from the connection?

Less raw bandwidth than people expect and much more consistency. Video visits are sensitive to jitter and packet loss rather than throughput, so a symmetric circuit with a stable path outperforms a larger, contended one. The upstream direction matters as much as the downstream, which is exactly where consumer-grade and cable services tend to be weakest.

How does this fit HIPAA obligations?

We are the transport provider: we carry the traffic, and the covered entity remains responsible for encryption, access control, and its own compliance program. What a private path does is narrow the exposure — clinical traffic between your sites never traverses the public internet — which is a meaningful part of a security posture but not a substitute for one. We are glad to walk through the specifics with your security team.
