NTC-20Specification Sheet

The NetComm Wireless NTC-20 n-Hub is the perfect Mobile Health (mHealth) ecosystem aggregation device. Designed to connect mHealth devices to the speed and coverage of a mobile broadband network, the n-Hub allows carer networks, hospitals, insurance companies and proactive health networks to connect to, monitor and remotely manage medical equipment and information..

USER FRIENDLY INTERFACEThe NetComm Wireless n-Hub is all about simplicity. It has an intuitive OLED display and user friendly interface which means onsite setup and ongoing management is simple, easy and cost effective. Stylish yet functional, the n-Hub offers multimode power and mount options to ensure a seamless and non-intrusive integration into any home.

IDEAL MOBILE HEALTH AGGREGATION DEVICEThe Mobile Health (mHealth) ecosystem of devices are expected to grow to more than 650 million devices by 2020. With built-in Bluetooth and/or WiFi, these devices – from bathroom scales to blood glucose monitors and implantable cardiac devices – can provide an immense amount of critical data – if a connection can be established to a central database.

The NetComm Wireless NTC-20 n-Hub is an ideal mHealth ecosystem aggregation device designed to connect mHealth devices to the speed and coverage of a mobile broadband network.

GLOBAL NETWORK FLEXIBILITYIdeal for global deployment, the n-Hub is able to work on any global mobile network, giving system integrators the flexibility to choose which mobile network to connect to.

CARRIER GRADE MANAGEMENT AND RELIABILITYThe n-Hub features internal antennas for easy deployment and internal diversity antenna for improved performance. And it has been designed to interoperate with any management platform, offering network managers freedom of choice while keeping the total cost of ownership as low as possible.

CUSTOM SOFTWARE APPLICATIONSThe n-Hub is a software rich intelligent 3G router with the additional benefit of being software expandable. It has an open embedded Linux Operating System empowering solution architects and system integrators to create their own apps using NetComm’s Software Development Kit (SDK).

NetComm Wireless n-Hub Overview

The Mobile Health industry is growing at an exponential rate and so is the ecosystem

of devices used to monitor, manage and assist individuals to improve and maintain

their health. More and more mHealth devices are being launched with communications

technologies such as Bluetooth and WiFi built-in, including devices as basic as

bathroom scales to complex technologies such as miniaturised wearable devices,

blood glucose monitors, implantable cardiac devices and home dialysis machines.

Patient data is stored on secure cloud servers that are compliant with local laws and regulations

Data is transmitted using a secure mobile broadband connection

Medical devices can connect to the mHealth Hub via Bluetooth, WiFi or USB

NetComm Wireless n-HubAs part of the mHealth ecosystem

Real-time data can then be accessed by healthcare professionals to provide

optimal care for the patient
