CommScope has provided fibre optic cabling for the Golden 1 Center, future home of the
Sacramento Kings franchise of the National Basketball Association. It promises to be one of the most
technologically advanced arenas in the world.

Wideband multimode fibre forms the cabling backbone in the arena’s data centre and, along with
other equipment, will support all wired and wireless communications within the stadium.
CommScope is the only supplier of WBMMF for Golden 1 Center. Golden 1 Center is ready to
support massive fan traffic when the arena opens in October, and future proofed to support future

ANSecurity has announced a successful
project with Northern Doctors Urgent Care
to deliver a secure remote access solution
helping teleworking clinicians to deliver
patient care more effectively.
Northern Doctors Urgent Care (NDUC),
part of the Vocare group, delivers urgent
care and out-of-hours GP services to 1.5
million patients in the North East of England,
including Northumberland, Teesside, North
and South Tyneside and Newcastle.
With 3,300 staff, nine call centres and
over 40 additional sites, Vocare is a true 24
hour a day operation utilising a range of
skilled professionals and critical systems
vital for delivering its high quality healthcare
services to patients and commissioners.
The new solution implemented Juniper
SRX Series Firewalls with Pulse Secure
Connect Secure appliances including its
endpoint integrity assessment technology
to check and remediate end user devices
prior to authentication. Connect Secure
offers SSL VPN access with increased
protection for its BYOD users against
local malware. Access control was further
strengthened by an RSA based two-factorauthentication solution and Pulse Secure
Access portal solution to allow streamlined
application distribution and per user
policy based application control. NDUC
also deployed a VoIP telephony solution
from Shoretel to allow assistance calls to
be routed from the call centre teams to
clinicians using just an Internet connection.
