IPGlobal partnered with GE Healthcare on the ML Stream programme — delivering switch replacements, network troubleshooting, and Ekahau wireless validation projects across the USA, Mexico, Brazil, and the UK, leaving the global leader in medical technology with more stable, scalable, and compliant networks at every site.
GE Healthcare operates hospitals, research centres, and commercial offices worldwide, all of which depend on reliable, secure, and compliant network infrastructure to support medical technology, clinical systems, and global operations. As a global leader in the life sciences sector, network downtime or performance degradation at any site carries consequences far beyond a typical enterprise IT failure.
Following a prior engagement, GE Healthcare's ML Stream programme was initiated to address recurring network issues and wireless performance gaps at critical sites across four countries. Aging switching infrastructure at multiple locations presented a genuine downtime risk, while inconsistent wireless coverage at mission-critical sites was impacting both staff productivity and system reliability.
Managing simultaneous remediation across sites in the USA, Mexico, Brazil, and the UK — while maintaining compliance with healthcare sector data and infrastructure standards at every location — required a global engineering partner with proven multi-country delivery capability and deep healthcare IT experience.
Selected as GE Healthcare's key global engineering partner for the ML Stream programme, IPGlobal coordinated and executed the full scope of network remediation work across all four regions simultaneously. Switch replacements were delivered at sites across the USA, Mexico, Brazil, and the UK, with each installation following a consistent technical methodology and handover process.
Alongside hardware replacements, IPGlobal managed a series of Ekahau wireless validation surveys at critical GE Healthcare sites. These projects delivered certified RF performance data — including coverage heat maps, interference analysis, and recommendations — giving GE Healthcare's global IT team verified evidence of network performance and the intelligence needed to plan further optimisation.
Throughout the programme, IPGlobal maintained ongoing support across all four countries, providing a single point of contact for GE Healthcare's project and operations teams and ensuring that any issues identified post-handover were resolved quickly and consistently regardless of geography.
The ML Stream programme significantly strengthened GE Healthcare's network backbone across four countries. Switch replacements eliminated recurring downtime risks at healthcare-critical sites, Ekahau validation delivered certified wireless performance data across all surveyed locations, and IPGlobal's ongoing multi-country support partnership gives GE Healthcare a single, trusted engineering partner for continued infrastructure management across its global estate.
