About This Guide • Synchronization Unit - The Philips Sync Unit provides a necessary common clock signal to synchronize all the IntelliVue Access Points in the system. As patients ambulate around the hospital coverage area their transmitted data are handed over from one AP to another seamlessly without interruption or data loss.
Overview This chapter provides a high-level overview of the Philips IntelliVue Telemetry System and includes: • Introduction • IntelliVue Telemetry System Infrastructure Components • General Intellivue Telemetry System Data Flow • Supported Topologies and System Limits • IntelliVue Telemetry System Specifications •...
Chapter 1: Overview Introduction The Philips IntelliVue Telemetry System (ITS) uses a cellular wireless architecture to provide two-way communications between patient-worn transceivers and wireless bedside patient monitors, and the IntelliVue Information Center. Using the “Smart-hopping” wireless protocol based on Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT), the ITS provides monitoring capabilities for ambulatory patients within a wide coverage area.
Access Points (Figure 1-2) provide an air-link to transmit and receive data between patient-worn transceivers and the Philips IntelliVue Information Center via the ITS infrastructure. The effective range of each Standard AP is typically 32 feet (9.8 m), and each Standard AP supports up to 18 wireless clients (i.e., patient-worn transceivers or...

Chapter 1: Overview • UTP Cable Connectors to Remote Antennas - Two standard RJ-45 connectors are provided for the UTP cables that connect the Core AP to its Remote Antennas. Each UTP cable carries 5.5 VDC power, Transmit and Receive control signals, and Antenna Diversity signals to the Remote Antenna.
Access Point Controller The multi-functional Philips Access Point Controller (APC) (Figure 1-6) controls the data flow of patient-worn transceivers as the patients move about the coverage area between the IntelliVue Access Points. It also can be used to configure parameters of the APs—all via its Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Chapter 1: Overview The following status LEDs are provided on the APC front panel: Front Panel LEDs • Power LED - The Power LED is a multi-color LED that indicates the following status: AMBER - During initialization, the Power LED is illuminated AMBER. GREEN - During normal operation, it is illuminated GREEN continuously.
IntelliVue Telemetry System Infrastructure Components Synchronization Unit The Philips Synchronization Unit (Sync Unit) (Figure 1-7) provides a necessary common clock signal to synchronize all the IntelliVue Access Points in the system. Access Points need to be synchronized so that as the patients move around the hospital they are able to maintain and hand over connections between the Access Points seamlessly without interruption.
Chapter 1: Overview • MASTER/SLAVE Toggle Switch - MASTER/SLAVE toggle switch (set manually) to indicate the master SU of an installation. This MASTER switch disables the alarm that would be generated by the lack of an upstream unit to provide a reference signal to this unit.
“wraps” the message into a packet and forwards the packet on to the appropriate ITS Access Point. 3. The network handles the packet as a message for the ITS Access Point. IntelliVue Telemetry System Infrastructure Installation and Service Guide 1-13...
Chapter 1: Overview 4. When the packet arrives at the ITS Access Point, the Access Point “unwraps” the message, determines which transceiver the message is intended for, and sends the message on to the transceiver over the wireless link. Defined ITS Bandwidth The ITS transceivers (portable patient-worn devices), wireless bedside monitors, and infrastructure operate on the 1.4 GHz US Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) band or on the 2.4 GHz band for deployments outside of the US.
