Wireless Networking: Due to the large amount of data transmitted in SuiteMed, SuiteMed recommends the use of Terminal Services or Citrix to ensure proper performance when running over a wireless network.

Networks/Server: SuiteMed recommends that a trained networking consultant inspect and upgrade your network, if necessary, to the proper specifications for use. It would be wise to have this individual call our technical support department so they may be briefed on how SuiteMed is utilized on a network.

Remote Office Connections: If a clinic has more than one physical location, a thin client solution such as Citrix, Terminal Services, or Remote Desktop is recommended.
