When a clinic sends imaging or records from a vehicle or a pop-up site back to the data center, that data crosses networks you do not own — cellular carriers, satellite, the public internet. HIPAA expects that traffic to be protected in transit. The good news: the same technology that makes the connection reliable also encrypts it.
Encryption is not a bolt-on
A SpeedFusion tunnel is an encrypted VPN by design. Traffic is split across multiple links at the packet level and reassembled at a Peplink endpoint or FusionHub inside your network — so PHI is both bonded and AES-encrypted end to end, without a separate VPN client on every device.
A stable identity for roaming devices
Because clinical devices ride the tunnel, they present a single, stable virtual IP no matter which physical link is carrying them at that instant. That keeps sessions to your PACS or EHR alive as the vehicle moves between coverage zones — and it keeps your firewall rules simple, because everything arrives from one known tunnel endpoint.
Segment further with VLANs — clinical, guest, and device networks kept apart on the same hardware — and you have a mobile site that is both compliant and genuinely hard to knock offline.
If your disaster-recovery plan includes the word “failover,” you’re doing it wrong.
SpeedFusion internet bonding means increased performance, more uptime, and no failover — because the session was already riding every link.
Own your network. Peplink hardware is bought once and it lasts — it keeps bonding and routing with or without an active warranty or the cloud. No forced subscriptions, no required licenses.
