WiFi: Unwiring the ambulance!

Who needs WiFi in an ambulance car? Hopefully we will never find out, but this is the concept of a company which wants to unwire the ambulance.

If it’s portable, why shouldn’t it have WiFi? That’s what ambulance service provider American Medical Response (AMS) believes. And to prove it, the company is showing off a vehicle that includes an InMotion cellular Internet backhaul connection with WiFi to let paramedics hook up laptops and PDAS to a home base, then use them to fill in care information for patients when they get to the scene. Paper records from ambulance calls can be messy and time-consuming, so getting everything digitally could be a huge improvement.
