Preparing for AI Scale: Offloading Wi-Fi with Managed Cellular Infrastructure

AI is reshaping healthcare at unprecedented speed—but it’s the simultaneous boom in connected devices that is making 2026 a pivotal year for CIOs. From bedside diagnostics and RTLS to telehealth peripherals and smart-building systems, device counts have climbed sharply. The result: wireless networks are being pushed far beyond what they were originally designed to support. In this live session, Strategic Venue Partners and Jeff Blade of M Health Fairview will explore how the health system is moving more applications onto managed, carrier-neutral cellular networks to reduce Wi-Fi congestion and support mobility-focused care. By offloading traffic from Wi-Fi, new clinical spaces, devices, and teams can be brought online quickly—without lengthy design cycles or infrastructure delays—ensuring the network scales as fast as care delivery does. Attendees will learn how separating AI, device, and consumer traffic improves performance and reliability, strengthens network resilience, and enables future-ready hospitals capable of expanding or adopting new technologies without disruption.
